Hazmat Transportation

Hazmat transportation, handled by the book.

Hazmat-endorsed drivers and compliant equipment for placarded containers and freight off the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma — documented, routed and moved to DOT standards.

Hazardous materials leave no room for shortcuts. We move placarded containers and freight with hazmat-endorsed drivers and compliant processes — proper shipping papers, placarding, segregation and routing — so regulated cargo clears the terminal and reaches its destination safely and legally. From the port to the door, every hazmat move follows the DOT and FMCSA playbook, with the documentation to back it up.

How we move regulated freight

Hazmat transportation services

Hazmat drayage

Placarded container pull-outs and returns at the Seattle and Tacoma terminals, on the right equipment.

Regional and final-mile transport of regulated freight, full or partial loads.

Compliant documentation

Shipping papers, emergency-response info and placarding prepared correctly for every load.

Proper routing

Routes planned to hazmat restrictions — tunnels, bridges and prohibited segments avoided.

Segregation & handling

Compatible loading and segregation so incompatible classes never ride together.

Regulated cargo, moved without the risk

Most carriers either don't touch hazmat or treat it like any other load — and that's where fines and incidents come from. We treat it as its own discipline. Tell us the UN number, hazard class and packing group, and we confirm up front that we can move it compliantly before a wheel turns. Because we run drayage, regional and final-mile delivery in-house, a regulated container can clear the port and reach its destination on one compliant chain of custody.

Hazmat transportation FAQ

Which hazmat classes do you handle?

Many of the common classes shipped through the Northwest ports. Send us the UN number, class and packing group and we'll confirm we can move it before booking.

Do you dray hazmat containers off the terminals?

Yes — placarded container drayage at the Seattle and Tacoma terminals with hazmat-endorsed drivers and proper documentation.

Who prepares the shipping papers?

The shipper is responsible for accurate classification, but we make sure the placarding, paperwork and routing on our end meet DOT requirements for transport.

Can you combine hazmat drayage with delivery?

Yes — port pull-out through final-mile delivery on one compliant move, no handoff to an unqualified carrier.
