Freight Shipping from Philadelphia to Boston

Scheduled trucking from our Philadelphia warehouse and Cinnaminson, NJ hub. Every run is confirmed by dispatch.

Boston is the northern end of our regular runs — a longer haul of roughly five to six hours by truck from Philadelphia. It's best suited to full truckloads, larger pallet counts, and planned distribution rather than urgent same-day work.

A common pattern: freight comes off a trailer at our Philadelphia warehouse, gets cross-docked or stored, then moves north to Boston-area receivers on a scheduled run.

For this lane, plan ahead with your timing window and delivery requirements. Dispatch confirms the route, equipment, and schedule before anything is booked.

Equipment on this lane

16 ft and 26 ft box trucks and 53 ft dry vans. Tell us if you need a liftgate — we'll match the truck to the delivery.
