Our ServicesLocal, national, global and everywhere in between

Refrigerated Trucking Services

The perfect temperature.

With the right partners, transporting chilled, frozen and deep frozen goods like fresh produce and ice cream, is as easy as shipping non-perishable goods. We have a great deal of experience dealing with temperature-sensitive commodities and are able to provide our customers with seamless door-to-door service throughout the United States and Canada.

Along with regional distribution capabilities and expedited service options, we have dedicated refrigerated routes that include most major retailers including Trader Joes, Wal-Mart, Costco, UNFI, Target, Publix, Kroger’s, Sysco, Safeway etc… Our team will coordinate and pre-set appointments based on due dates and will make sure everyone stays on track with courtesy calls.

Out of sight but not out of mind.

Our service doesn’t end once your goods are on the road. Our team will regularly monitor the temperature of the trailer and the quality of your product, staying in constant contact with you along the way. Our goal is to make sure that your products arrive just as fresh and delicious as when you shipped them. After all, both our reputations depend on it.

Warehousing & Cold Storage

We understand the issues facing the supply chain for storage, packaging, transportation and handling of inventory.

Shelf life is preserved by keeping the product in storage in the right conditions. Our facilities are able to handle a variety of products in dry storage and in cold storage.

Cross Docking & Short-Term Holds

Cross docking and short-term holds are a service we offer, systematically moving your product from incoming trucks to outgoing trucks. Temperature sensitive freight is handled in a temperature-controlled environment by our experienced team. Short-term holds are common with LTL freight, and our facilities are capable of managing this to fit your delivery schedule.

Drayage & Port Pick Ups

If you import freight from overseas, getting your products here can have its challenges. There are many moving parts when it comes to clearing freight from the ports. Many companies are at the mercy of the ports. The relationship with the people who route those containers from port are paramount when it comes to drayage.

Our drayage carriers are 100% compliant with the ports Clean Truck Program.

CFS Pick ups for LCL orders are a specialty!

Advantages of BOA’s Drayage Program:

Minimize or eliminate detention and demurrage charges:

BOA’s secret to avoiding these situations is by over-communicating, triple-checking, and strong-carrier relationships. Our connection with local dispatchers and drivers allow us to get “real-time” data and work proactively to prevent these issues from happening. We have seen an improvement of over 70% since 2012 avoiding these charges.

Late night Pick ups:

Our drayage teams search for the best available appointments to prevent unwanted costs. We have ability to pick up the night before (night-gate) in order to avoid the PierPass upcharge for peak hour moves.

Specialized Equipment:

We offer specialized equipment such as tri-axles for heavy loads, Temperature controlled and Refrigerated trucking

Volume & Truckload Partners

The size of the matter.

When it comes to transporting larger volumes of freight (over 4 pallets/4000 lbs), our access to a broad range of reliable local, regional and national carriers is invaluable. All our carriers are carefully selected and pre-screened based on their safety ratings and liability coverage—minimum cargo insurance requirements are $100,000 per trailer.

Have special cargo needs? We also have access to Dry Vans, Refrigerated Trailers, 53’ Expedited Sleeper Teams and HAZMAT-certified drivers.

Canada Shipments:

If your cargo is headed to (or from) Canada, we can help you figure out cross-border transportation including:

  • Inter and intra-Canada LTL, Volume and Full TL service
  • Cross-border transportation documentation
  • Freight duties and taxes
  • Clearing bonded shipments

Rail Services

From road to rail.

When your timing is a little more flexible, intermodal rail shipping is a great alternative to road transportation. The slower schedules and larger volume capabilities, can offer shippers a competitive cost advantage. Our direct contacts with major rail companies allows us to find you the best price on direct door-to-door rail service in the domestic U.S.

LTL Partners

Full service solutions for Less Than Truckloads.

With so many LTL options out there, it can be hard to find the right one for your needs. So we do the detective work for you. We work directly with a select group of lane and service specific carriers to recommend the most competitive options in terms of both price and experience.

Our LTL partners work in both regional and nationwide lanes. If you need to ship anything above 4 pallets or 4000 lbs, you may qualify for volume rates. Please contact us directly.

working at boa

I believe that BOA Logistics is a fantastic organization that keeps evolving for the better. It is a self-conscious, forward thinking company that is always open to doing what’s best for the team and everyone associated with them. The employees have just as much connection with the path of BOA as do the owners. Everyone works hard here. We celebrate victories, and heal from losses together. I am proud to come into the office every morning with our team.
Since I joined this organization I have not looked back. it is a great energetic place to work that delivers something new every day. Everyone in the office expresses themselves and it is a joy to work with everyone here. And even though the going gets tough sometimes I know we have the supporting cast that can help in any situation. I truly do enjoy being a part of and representing this organization.
The culture here is awesome. It is not your traditional logistics environment (a breath of fresh air). Young, revolutionary, humble and unique. The core values are life values! The team here works in tune and everyone is more than glad to give each other a hand. The platform the company was built upon is awesome! All in all, the best place I have had the opportunity to be employed.
Fun organization to be part with no shortage of entertainment- from our jazzy music playlists to our company puppy, Kona! Has all of the aspects of an established workplace paired with closeness of a startup, BOA is a great fit for anyone looking to further their career & make lifelong connections while doing so!

Walter Lopez

Walter Lopes

Co-founder
With a degree in International Business from his home country of Brazil, Walter started working as an exporter with Stone Control Inc. right out of school. With more than a decade of experience in the logistics industry in both Brazil and the US, Walter met Matthew when the two were paired up as training partners in a Brazilian Martial Arts class. The more the two trained together, the more they learned they had in common professionally. United by a shared goal to elevate the level of service in the shipping and logistics industry, the two training partners became business partners as well. To this day, Boa, which is Portuguese for good, uses martial arts as a guiding philosophy by adapting and anticipating future market needs as opposed to being knocked off guard by them.
Matthew Mugar

Matthew Mugar

Co-founder
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Matthew earned a BA in Communication Studies from California State University Northridge. While he originally discovered the world of logistics purely by chance, his passion and dedication to the industry is unparalleled. With 11 years working with well-known freight companies like Diversified Transportation Services, Landstar and Covenant Solutions, Matthew has experience in almost all areas of US and Canada freight. By the time Matthew and Walter started Boa in 2010, the two knew exactly which direction they wanted to take it in. As with anything new, there are always obstacles to overcome but thanks to a strong partnership and shared vision, Boa is able to make shipping freight easier and more accessible to many clients.
