  • We operate in full compliance with US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, including those concerning the movement of hazardous materials. We also follow the recommended Security Action Items from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Boyle is approved by the US Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Energy (DOE).

  • We act as a partner in risk management and HAZMAT transport protocols. Our safety record is unparalleled in the market, and we continually invest significant resources in training, equipment and safety technology to ensure that your shipment is delivered safely and securely. All of our transportation professionals hold hazardous material endorsements and are trained / certified for HAZMAT transportation.

• HAZMAT Shipment Security

  • Safety and security protocols are more vital than ever when it comes to transportation of hazardous materials. Boyle Transportation has long been a leading choice in both government / defense and life science industries. With our continuous internal implementation of extensive hazardous materials training, experienced transportation professionals, state-of-the-art equipment and proven quality systems, we ensure the secure delivery of hazardous materials shipments to wherever they need to go.

• Hazardous Materials Safety Permit

  • The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires carriers that transport certain hazardous materials – radioactive materials, explosives and toxic by inhalation materials – in certain volumes to carry a Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP). Boyle Transportation holds an HMSP permit and complies with all applicable regulations in 49CFR, including training, routing, parking, insuring and placarding. The safety of our transportation professionals, customers and all stakeholders involved in the transport of hazardous materials is our highest priority. To verify our HMSP with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), see https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/mcs150t/pkg_shipper.prc_shipper_request; US DOT Number 111440.

Our overall methodology has resulted in 100% on-time performance for expedited shipments. Since our vehicles are staffed by teams of two transportation professionals, we provide next-day delivery up to 1,000 miles.

We provide door-to-door expedited service throughout the continental USA and Eastern Canada, with assurances that your shipments will arrive safely and on time. Our professional team provides coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• Unlike most carriers, we do not subcontract shipments to independent owner-operators. All of our transportation professionals are Boyle Transportation employees operating vehicles from our state-of-the-art fleet, controlled by our Operations Center, and with full redundancy back-up.
