Welcome to the 2009 Boston Burningtruck project! Our mission is simple - to provide round trip transportation for artwork, projects, bikes, and supplies from Boston to Black Rock City! This is a community driven, not for profit project, where our goal is to get your stuff to the playa and back on time and in one piece.

It's all different this year...

I'm really doing it this year...I'm shifting this over to a community run and managed project since it is so essential to the Boston Burning man experience. If you want to use the containers, you are required to get involved. Go sign up for the burningtruck googlegroup.

Volunteers

All of you are volunteers! Plan on arriving early on loading and unloading days and making a day of it! Furthermore, please take loading and unloading into account when making your travel arrangements. See my full rant in the fabulous container guide.
