MIARA TRANSPORTATION originated in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1956 and was incorporated in 1962. Our new facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts is perfectly situated at Routes 93, 95 and 495, allowing us easy access to all the major highways of the New England states.
Our Millwrights and Riggers are seasoned professionals, well versed in the art of moving heavy machinery. Our road crews are all experienced drivers, with many miles under their tires. We specialize in permit loads: High, Wide, or Heavy. All our equipment is kept in top-notch condition by on-staff mechanics.
Miara Transportation has since joined forces with Sherman Crane, Russell-Stimpson, W. F. Harnum Rigging, G&M Trucking, D.L. Quinn Riggers, and Northeast Pilot Car. This expansion has helped us specialize in advanced crane services, broaden our expertise to the graphic arts industries with Russell-Stimpson and increase our rigging capacity with W. F. Harnum, while still providing exceptional hauling services across the United States and Canada.
Our mission at Miara Transportation is to continually strive to outperform our competitors in the Rigging, Distribution, Transportation, Crane and Warehousing fields. By achieving this goal we will have satisfied our responsibilities to our customers, employees, management and our community.
We will treat our employees fairly and with respect, openness and honesty. We solicit and respond to their ideas, and reward meaningful contributions to our success. This, we feel, offers opportunity for growth and a high degree of employment security.
We are committed to continued growth in North American markets, along with exploration of global markets.

FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by
itself is considered Full Truckload. One of the main characteristic of an FTL Services is that it
will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring
the cargo.
LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL
shipment. It takes just a section of the truck and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments
that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
Adjustments can be costly, but can mostly be avoided with accurate information.
Common adjustments occur around oversized items (more than 12 feet in length), lift-gates,
limited delivery access, residential fees, reclassifications and changes to the bill of lading.
