Services

Two kinds of freight, one set of standards. General goods and regulated chemical products, planned and dispatched by the same team.

Chemical and hazardous materials

Packaged chemical products moved under the hazardous materials regulations, with classification, shipping papers, placarding and segregation handled by our dispatch team before the truck arrives. Loads run on our own equipment or with hazmat-qualified partner carriers we have vetted.

Hazard classes
Class 3 flammable liquids, Class 8 corrosives and Class 9 miscellaneous materials as standard. Other packaged classes reviewed case by case.
Packaging
Drums, IBC totes, pails and cartons on pallets. Packaged freight only, no bulk tanker service.
Not carried
Class 1 explosives, Class 7 radioactive materials and Division 2.3 poison gases.

How we handle hazardous materials

Every regulated load follows the same four steps. Nothing moves until the paperwork, the placards and the driver's qualification line up.

  1. Classify

    the product from its safety data sheet and confirm it is within our scope.

  2. Document

    the shipping papers and emergency response information before pickup.

  3. Load and placard

    with segregation rules applied and placards checked at the dock.

  4. Move and track

    with a hazmat-qualified driver and a dispatcher who knows what is on board.

Managed logistics

For customers who want one contact instead of five. We hold property broker authority alongside our carrier authority, so when a load needs equipment we do not run ourselves, we place it with a vetted partner carrier and stay your single point of contact from pickup to proof of delivery.
