R & D Transportation, Inc. was founded December of 2010 by Raymond Rodrigues and William Dearn after they spent many years as independent owner operators leased on with several overseas container drayage companies in the Boston Massachusetts area. After many years in the overseas container hauling industry the two owners took note of the best and worst customer services practices. The owners determined that if they personally picked up and delivered the overseas shipping containers the best customer service would be delivered to customers. It is this level of customer service that has allowed R & D Transportation to expand past it's two truck operation but our number one commitment has and always will be to customer service.
