BDS Transport is a Winthrop-listed trucking and logistics outfit whose work centers on moving equipment that cannot be dropped: laboratory, medical and other sensitive gear, delivered white-glove, carried inside, placed and set up. The company describes climate-controlled and air-ride vehicles, liftgate and dock-to-dock service, expedited runs and airport work across New England, and it publishes DOT 1017362 and MC 570892 as its own carrier numbers — figures it self-reports rather than ones verified here. The people who hire it for that equipment work speak well of it. A lab customer who first met the crew through Thermo Fisher deliveries wrote in June 2026 that it has used BDS for years, that the same combination of guys shows up each time, and that they have handled white-glove delivery, assembled furniture, and moved lab equipment from Boston up to New Hampshire at prices the customer called very reasonable. Another June 2026 reviewer hired them to re-ice a shipment at the airport and got a fast quote and a same-day job done. Two more reviews from June 2026 praise the white-glove handling, the care taken with valuable equipment and clear communication through the process. The household side of the ledger looks different. A 2-star reviewer in June 2026 described a one-bedroom apartment move quoted at $800 for one truck and three movers, said the crew hours discussed beforehand did not match what was billed, and reported paying a $175 deposit plus a further $640 with no paperwork to sign and no written breakdown of the agreed time, hourly rate or total. Google shows a 4.4-star average, but from only five ratings — a very thin record either way, all of it from 2026. That split is the practical takeaway: the documented strength is commercial and equipment transport, and the one documented complaint is a residential move and its billing. If you are hiring them for a home move, get the hourly rate, crew size, minimum hours and travel charges in writing before the truck is loaded, and ask what happens if the job runs long.
We have been utilizing BDS transport for years, and these guys are great!!! We originally were introduced to them through large equipment purchase/deliveries through Fisher/Thermo. It's always the same combination of guys who show up which is awesome so we have a great working relationship with them at this point. They've done white glove delivery for us, assembled furniture and we even contracted them ourselves to move some lab equipment from Boston up to NH for us. Their prices were very reasonable too. We always look forward to a visit from them as they're just really hard working people, easy to get along with and funny too! We've worked with Mike, Austin, Joe and a few others. Everyone has been excellent, wish I could give more than 5 stars!
BDS Trucking provides excellent white glove equipment transportation services. They are professional, efficient, and handle every shipment with care. Their pricing is reasonable, and their reliable service makes them a great choice for transporting valuable equipment. Highly recommended!
Hired BDS to re-ice a shipment down at the airport. They provided me with a fast affordable quote and got the re-ice done the same day. LIFESAVERS! Great group of guys that work there. Will definitely hire again in the future!
I had an excellent experience working with BDS Trucking. Their white glove service was professional, reliable, and handled with great attention to detail from start to finish. Communication was clear throughout the entire process, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was delivered safely and on time. What stood out most was their commitment to customer service and the care they took with every item. It’s clear they take pride in their work and value their customers. If you’re looking for a dependable white glove trucking company that delivers exceptional service, I highly recommend BDS Trucking.
I was quoted $800 for one truck and three movers for 8 hours. I have a one-bedroom apartment with one bedroom set, one living room set, and a small kitchen set. Prior to moving day, I was told I would have one truck and three movers for four hours. I paid a $175 deposit, which I was told would be applied toward the total cost. However, I still ended up paying an additional $640, and I am requesting an explanation for this charge. I did not receive any paperwork to sign or any written breakdown showing the agreed-upon time, hourly rate, or total cost. The movers arrived at 10:00 AM and left at 2:00 PM. The two younger movers worked adequately, but the older gentleman appeared to struggle throughout the job. Several items that I was told would not fit or would be difficult to move were ultimately moved successfully: * I was told the headboard would not fit up the stairs, but after the legs were removed, it fit without issue. * I was told a tall dresser would not fit upstairs, yet it was moved upstairs successfully. * I was told my couch would not fit and they only attempted once before stopping, without trying to maneuver it further. Two friends later helped me move it upstairs without issue. * I was told my medium dresser could not be moved easily and was left in my kitchen. I was advised to remove drawers myself, which I feel should have been part of the service. I am also very concerned that my brand-new dresser (purchased about four months ago) was damaged during the move, with one of the legs broken. Based on my understanding of the agreement: * Truck fee: $230 (flat fee) * Labor: 3 movers at $39/hour for 4 hours = $468 * Total expected: $698 * Minus $175 deposit = $523 remaining balance However, I was charged $640, and I would like a detailed explanation of this discrepancy and a breakdown of all charges. Overall, I am not satisfied with the service and would not recommend this experience.
