FIRST CALL TRUCKING & COURIER TEAMING UP WITH IPL PLASTICS & THE CITY OF BOSTON TO STREAMLINE RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING

June 26, 2009

Beginning July 6th, FIRST CALL TRUCKING & COURIER will be delivering one large wheeled-cart to Boston city residents for all their recycling needs!

Boston resident have always been terrific recyclers. Now Boston Public Works, IPL Plastics, & First Call Trucking & Courier will make recycling even easier for city residents while also helping them to recycle more. For many Bostonians, one recycling bin was simply not enough. Gone are the days of small bins and paper bags. Instead, FIRST CALL TRUCKING & COURIER will be delivering one large wheeled-cart to city residents for all their recycling needs. A New Recycling Program in Boston is Coming Soon!

All Recyclables, One Large Cart!
No more carrying bins and saving paper bags. For the first time ever, there’s no need to separate recyclables. That’s right – paper, cardboard, pizza boxes, plastic, glass and metal containers mixed together at last. CO-MINGLED RECYCLING is here to stay!

When the cart is full, the bins can be wheeled out to the curb. Collections continue on the same day as usual.

If you’re a resident of Boston, more information should be coming to you soon. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me!

*ALL BIN DELIVERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY FIRST CALL TRUCKING & COURER: Your Delivery Company that Cares About the Environment!

1st Call Transportation and First Call Trucking & Courier NOT Affiliated with One Another!

June 23, 2009

We, here at First Call Trucking & Courier, have been inundated with at least a couple angry calls per month from motorist who have been cut-off or otherwise offended by drivers from the company, 1st Call Transportation.

Additionally, at a professional conference last year, I was approached by a gentleman ready to give me a piece of his mind because he thought I was affiliated with 1st Call Transportation.

I found this review of  1st Call Transportation on yelp.com (it was the only review): “First Call is apparently a transportation and ambulance company.  If the latter is true, then they are definitely trying to drum up business, because every time I see one of their white vans driving down the road I KNOW there will be a major arsehole behind the wheel.  They are constantly making illegal turns on Soldier’s Field Rd, riding on other car’s tails, and barely missing hitting pedestrians.  I don’t have a chance to know if, when doing these things, they tend to have passengers or are empty, but their name is on the van, so they are already giving themselves awful advertising.” (http://www.yelp.com/biz/first-call-transportation-allston)

 I would like to make this clear — 1st Call Transportation operates passenger vans, First Call Trucking & Courier transports cargo.  We are not affiliated.  If you or anyone you know has a problem with 1st Call Transportation (they strictly operate those white and red vans), please contact them here:

First Call Transportation
250 Everett Street
Allston, MA 02134

(617) 787-2600

 As these phone calls have become more frequent and the callers more infuriated, we have decided to try and go ahead and copyright the name.  Both companies’ names are “D.B.A’s” and not legal names, so I don’t know how the name-claim game would play out.  If anyone out there is a lawyer or has legal knowledge, please feel free to offer up some advice.  Because as the Dude says: “This injustice won’t stand, man.  It won’t stand!”
