Our Story

Over a Century of Delivering the Difference.

Ford Storage & Moving was founded in 1915 and has grown into one of the Midwest's most trusted logistics companies.

Heritage

Four divisions. One team. One commitment.

Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, with operations in Kansas City, Kansas, we provide warehousing, fulfillment, transportation, and final mile services to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers across the United States.

What started as a local moving and storage company has evolved into a full-service, asset-based logistics partner — one that combines the reliability of a century-old institution with the technology and flexibility today's supply chains demand.

We are four divisions, one team, and one commitment: to deliver the difference for every client, every day.

Partnership

We don't just want to be your vendor. We want to be your long-term logistics partner.
