HAZMAT Freight Fit Guide
HAZMAT service is for freight classified as hazardous under transport regulations and requiring compliant handling, documentation, and carrier credentials. This guide helps determine if HAZMAT is the right fit for your load—and what to use instead when it isn't.
Non-hazardous or general freight
If your shipment is not classified as hazardous under transport regulations, standard dry van or LTL is typically more straightforward.
Hazardous freight requiring temperature control
If your regulated cargo must also maintain a controlled temperature range, temperature-controlled service may be required.
Small non-hazardous shipments
If your shipment is below truckload volume and does not require hazardous handling or documentation.
Expedited non-hazardous freight
If timing is critical and the shipment is not regulated as hazardous, expedited service may be a better fit.
When to use this service
