Founded in 1944, Valley Transportation Group began it's existence as the Scottsdale Transfer & Truck Company, providing household goods moving services to the city of Scottsdale, Arizona.
In 1956 the name was changed to Valley Transportation & Warehouse - and so
began the name synonymous with today's global leader in relocation, high-value
and sensitive
products
transportation,
distribution and logistics services.
In 1961 Valley Transportation & Warehouse ended its status as an independent carrier and joined the North American Van Lines family. In
doing so Valley began to also offer
transportation of
high-value and sensitive products, trade show exhibit materials, and corporate
facility relocation services.
In 1965 Valley Transportation &
Warehouse built their first new corporate
facility in nearby Phoenix, Arizona, and began to service the entire valley,
effectively covering all of Maricopa county in central Arizona. Shortly
following, in 1971 Valley Transportation & Warehouse expanded into Tucson,
Arizona, covering the southern part of the state.
In 1980 Valley Transportation & Warehouse was sold by its founder Thomas
Moffit to then partners Michael Logan and Michael Ruggieri. Following the
purchase of the Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona agencies, in 1984 Valley expanded
into Reno, Nevada with the purchase of another North American agent. Again
in 1985, Valley expanded into Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico with yet
another North American agency acquisition. In 1986 Valley began
construction on its second warehouse and new corporate facility.
Combining its specialized fleet of
vans with air freight and ocean shipping, in 1990 Valley
Transportation & Warehouse began its own air, ground and ocean freight
division, Valley Air Freight. Continuing its expansion into
more
profitable areas of the transportation industry, in 1995 Valley opened its
logistics division, Logistics Management Incorporated, which provides creative
logistics and outsourcing solutions that are tailor fit to meet the unique needs
of its customers. And in 1998, the network of companies now known as the
Valley Transportation Group, broke ground on its third warehouse location and
current corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.
The current managing partners, Michael Logan,
President, and Richard Logan II,
Executive Vice President, look to the future of Valley Transportation Group with
great excitement and anticipation. For over 57 years, Valley
Transportation Group has provided superior service through its commitment to
excellence, top quality management teams and dedicated employees. As one
