Courier Services Across New England
New England is a patchwork of hospital campuses, university research corridors, biotech clusters, legal districts, and government centers connected by a highway system that does not forgive a missed pickup window. RTD Logistics has operated within this environment since 1986, building the regional knowledge, infrastructure, and courier standards that time-critical organizations depend on.
We provide same-day, STAT, and expedited courier services across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine. From Boston’s Longwood Medical Area to the research parks along Route 128 and 495, from New Haven’s medical and research institutions to Providence’s financial district and Manchester’s commercial corridor, our reach extends wherever New England business operates.
A Regional Network Built for New England’s Complexity
Most courier companies treat New England as an extension of a national network. RTD Logistics was built here. Our operations center in Woburn, MA positions us at the crossroads of Route 128 and I-93 — the arteries through which Greater Boston’s medical, biotech, and commercial activity flows. From that hub, we move across the region with the route familiarity and local protocol knowledge that outside providers simply cannot replicate.
New England presents logistical challenges that require genuine regional expertise: restricted hospital loading docks, campus security protocols, winter conditions that compress already tight delivery windows, and the dense concentration of regulated industries that demand compliance at every handoff. Our couriers are tested and certified through DOT (49 CFR) and OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1030) standards, along with IATA and TSA credentials where routes require them, which means they arrive at a loading dock or a research facility ready to operate within those environments from day one.
New England States We Serve
Massachusetts
Massachusetts is RTD’s home market and deepest area of expertise. We cover Greater Boston, the Route 128 biotech corridor, the 495 technology belt, the South Shore, the North Shore — including Peabody and Salem — and Western Massachusetts, along with Charlestown, Chelsea, Jamaica Plain, and Wellesley. Same-day delivery, STAT specimen transport, pharmaceutical logistics, and scheduled route coverage are available statewide, with response times fastest in and around Greater Boston.
New Hampshire
Southern New Hampshire — particularly Manchester, Nashua, and the communities along I-93 and Route 3 — represents an active commercial extension of the Greater Boston market. RTD serves these areas with the same 24/7 capabilities and compliance standards we apply in Massachusetts. Biotech firms, medical practices, legal offices, and financial services organizations in southern NH rely on same-day and expedited courier connections to Boston-area partners and facilities.
