FOUNDATION
Boston Transportation was founded in early 2000 when founder Elizabeth Vasko helped a friend dispatch a fleet of trucks out of Boston, MA.
Later on, Elizabeth gained both knowledge and an interest in the shipping industry, while helping set up multiple authorities for a number of trucking and brokerage companies.
Yahoo Transportation, Idea Logistics, Midtown Transport, and Boston Transportation are among those who had Elizabeth as their head of operations.
GROWTH
In 2011, Boston Transportation Solutions & Dispatch Training was officially launched. What started as basic gatherings of friends in a local tea shop has grown in to one of the most innovative and respected instruction courses in the trucking sector, with the head offices in Chicago, IL and satellite offices in Dallas, TX and Miami, FL.
Today, the company provides the full spectrum of transportation solutions and trainings that is unmatched in the industry – Truck Dispatcher, Freight Broker, Safety Manager, Book Keeping, IFTA Calculation, Private Coaching and Networking Events.
EXPANSION
In 2021, Black Cat Safety was added to Smart Trucking Solutions Holding. This company focuses on MC Registrations, DOT FMCSA compliance and safety support for trucking companies.
