What is Boston Teamsters Local 25?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
Also called Local 25.
Boston Teamsters Local 25 is the International Brotherhood of Teamsters local whose Motion Picture Division represents drivers, transportation coordinators, and picture car crew on film and television productions across Massachusetts and New England.
Productions shooting in the Boston area under signatory agreements use Local 25 members for covered transportation and picture-car work, and vehicle owners hired under its jurisdiction should understand the local's rules on vehicle use, hours, and pay.
Example
A New England shoot working union hires transportation under Local 25's Motion Picture Division agreement, which sets driver classifications, minimum calls, and the terms for anyone moving picture cars in the region.
Figures are illustrative, chosen to show the mechanics rather than to quote market rates.
Where you'll see it
Massachusetts and the surrounding region, governing the transportation labor budget.
Common mistake
Assuming another region's classifications apply. Each local's agreement defines its own driver categories and minimum calls, so a crew plan built for one region does not transfer.

- How do Teamsters locals differ between regions?
- Rates, classifications, and minimum calls are set locally, so the same crew plan costs a different amount and may need a different headcount in each region.
