New England Logistics Services
Running a business means managing inventory, equipment, and space that rarely stay in one place for long. Whether you’re receiving a large fixture shipment, reconfiguring your office layout, or coordinating freight distribution across multiple locations, you need a logistics provider with the infrastructure and experience to keep your operation moving.
McLaughlin Transportation Systems has delivered commercial logistics services to New England businesses since 1936. As a Mayflower agent with 90+ years of operational experience, we’ve built the warehouse facilities, project management systems, and trained personnel to handle the logistics challenges that standard moving companies can’t solve. Contact us today for a free consultation and let’s build a plan around your operational needs.
What’s Included in Our Logistics Services
McLaughlin’s commercial logistics capabilities extend well beyond the moving truck. Our services are designed to integrate with your business operations, giving you flexible, reliable solutions for storage, distribution, and workspace management.
Warehousing and Storage Solutions
Our climate-controlled Nashua facility provides secure short- and long-term storage for business assets, inventory, and equipment. Whether you need overflow storage during an office renovation or a staging area for a multi-phase FF&E project, our warehouse team manages your inventory with the same precision you expect on moving day.
Key features of our warehousing services:
- Climate-controlled storage for sensitive equipment, electronics, and furniture
- Inventory tracking and asset management
- Receiving and inspection of incoming shipments from multiple vendors
- Scheduled retrieval and delivery to your locations
- Flexible terms for short-term project needs and ongoing storage arrangements
MAC Services — Move, Add, Change
Office environments change constantly. New hires, team reorganizations, lease expansions, and equipment upgrades all require physical reconfiguration that your facilities team may not have the capacity to execute alone. Our MAC (Move, Add, Change) services give businesses ongoing support for the workspace changes that happen between major relocations.
McLaughlin handles MAC projects of every scale — moving a single workstation across a floor or reconfiguring an entire department. We work around your schedule so your staff stays productive throughout the transition.
Cross-Dock Services
Time-sensitive freight distribution requires a facility and a team built for speed. Our cross-dock services allow inbound shipments to be unloaded, sorted, and reloaded for outbound delivery without entering long-term storage — reducing handling time, cutting costs, and keeping your supply chain on schedule.
This is particularly valuable for FF&E rollouts, retail openings, and multi-site distribution projects where coordinating deliveries from multiple vendors to multiple destinations demands tight logistics management.
How We Work
Every logistics engagement starts with understanding your operation. McLaughlin doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions — we develop logistics plans tailored to your timeline, budget, and business requirements.
Discovery and Assessment Our project managers begin with a detailed review of your logistics needs. We assess your current storage situation, distribution challenges, and project timeline to identify the services that will have the most impact.
Customized Logistics Planning Once we understand the full scope, we develop a logistics plan with clear timelines, responsibilities, and cost structures. You’ll know exactly what to expect before the first truck moves.
Execution and Coordination Our warehouse, transportation, and project management teams work in coordination throughout your engagement. You have a single point of contact who oversees every phase and keeps you informed — no chasing multiple vendors or managing separate contractors.
Ongoing Support For businesses with recurring logistics needs, McLaughlin can function as your outsourced logistics partner, providing warehousing, MAC services, and distribution support on an ongoing basis.
The Value of a Single Logistics Provider
Managing separate vendors for warehousing, distribution, and workplace reconfiguration creates gaps in communication, in accountability, and in execution. When one contractor doesn’t meet a deadline, it pushes everything else back.
Working with McLaughlin as your logistics provider consolidates these functions under one roof. The same team that stores your inventory also stages and delivers it. The same project management system that tracks your warehouse assets coordinates your MAC requests and cross-dock shipments.
Benefits of consolidating with McLaughlin:
- Fewer vendors to manage, fewer points of failure in your supply chain
- Consistent project management and communication across all logistics functions
- Cost efficiencies from coordinating warehousing, distribution, and relocation together
- 90+ years of institutional knowledge applied to your specific business challenges
- Full-value protection coverage across all services
- Mayflower agent resources for large-scale and long-distance logistics needs

Serving New England Businesses from Our Nashua Hub
McLaughlin’s Nashua, NH headquarters and warehouse facilities position us to serve businesses across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Southern Maine, and Vermont. Our central location in the Nashua-Manchester corridor puts us within practical reach of Boston, Portland, Burlington, and the surrounding regional markets.
This regional footprint means faster response times, lower transportation costs, and a logistics partner who knows New England’s roads, buildings, and business landscape — not a national firm dispatching crews from three states away.
