Morken Transport Storage

What Morken Transport Storage does

Morken Transport Storage, Inc., doing business as Morken Companies, is a privately-held, full-service commercial vehicle repair and maintenance company founded in 1983 and operating from a single facility at 1247 Andover Blvd NE in Ham Lake, Minnesota. The company delivers truck repair (engine, brake, clutch, suspension, electrical, drivetrain, transmission), trailer repair (brake, wheel hub, bearing, hub seal, body), DOT inspections, preventive maintenance programs, mobile field service, motorhome/RV repair, equipment repair (skid steers, chippers, generators, compressors), and trailer storage and leasing with delivery and relocation services. Core technology is conventional — standard diesel/automotive diagnostic equipment, fully-equipped mobile service trucks, and certified inspection tooling rather than proprietary software or platforms. The reported employee base of 1-10 against a regional Twin Cities service footprint indicates a small independent shop rather than a scaled operator.

The business model is professional services revenue with a unit-pricing overlay: repairs are estimated per job with no publicly disclosed flat rates, brake pad replacements typically start at $200-$500 per axle, and trailer rentals are priced at $30/day, $125/week, and $250/month with bundled 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year packages (priced at $700, $1,350, and $2,600 respectively) and a $100/hour delivery/relocation fee. Customer mix spans commercial fleet operators (Penske, J.B. Hunt, Reyes Fleet Management, K&M Tire, United Trailer Leasing), mid-market carriers (RoadLink Express, Lightning Express, Benchmark), owner-operators, construction fleets, businesses and contractors using trailer storage, and trailer/RV owners. Distribution combines a fixed-location shop, mobile field service dispatched across the Twin Cities metro and greater Minnesota, phone scheduling, and online appointment booking; marketing is primarily content/SEO with a Facebook presence. There is no disclosed revenue, no outside funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity in the input.
