Martin Transport Company Review

Martin Transport Company Overview

Martin Transport company logo

In 1951, with borrowed money, R.S. Martin, Jr. started Martin Butane Company in Kilgore, Texas. He drove the only truck and his wife kept books and handled the billing. R.S. persevered with his dream of supplying fuel to drilling rigs in the East Texas oil field.

When he retired 35 years after buying that first truck, the company had grown to a company with more than 1,800 employees and $500 million in sales.

Today, MRMC owns more than $550 million in assets consisting of a fleet of truck trailers and tractors, and have access to assets owned by Martin Midstream Partners L.P. Those customers include many Fortune 500 companies in industries such as petroleum, agriculture, petrochemical and utilities.
