History

MHC was founded on January 1, 1975, in Springfield Mo., as Ozark Kenworth, Inc. by Reed Murphy Senior, and Ken Hoffman. In 40 years, the company grew from a temporary facility with only three employees to operating across 16 states with 66 dealerships, four full-service transport refrigeration locations, 36 full-service leasing and rental operations and a finance company that offers a complete array of financial services.

Business

MHC’s divisions support the heavy and medium duty truck industry with dealerships, truck leasing and rental dealerships, transport refrigeration dealerships and MHC Financial Services.

MHC operates 66 truck dealerships, which offer new and used truck sales, all-makes parts inventory, factory-trained technicians and state-of-the-art service bays. Employees are ASE-certified and receive specialized training on a continual basis. Technicians are trained for PACCAR, Cummins and Caterpillar engines, and Eaton and Dana components, to service all makes of trucks, including Kenworth, Volvo, Freightliner, Peterbilt, Mack, International, Western Star, Hino, Isuzu, Ford and GMC.
