HAZMAT

Even though a manufacturer may be an expert at producing goods it may not be as well-versed in the intricacies of transporting those materials, including unknowingly offering carriers non-compliant hazmat shipments.

Customers, carriers and drivers play a major role in ensuring hazmat shipments are transported safely and compliantly.

HAZMAT transportation can be lucrative for carriers but it requires understanding common Department of Transportation violations and how to avoid them in regards to hazardous materials.

It’s important to note that owner operators and other drivers have a responsibility to validate that the HAZMAT shipment they’re transporting is compliant.
