I started my journey with TLI in 2009, and even all those years ago, HAZMAT was business as usual for us to route. Our TMS system can easily handle HAZMAT freight brokerage services in even the LTL environment, in addition to TL.
We have many clients routing freight, years ago while in operations it was initially adhesives for countertops that I routed multiple times daily all across the country.
Hazmat freight encompasses a wide range of materials, including chemicals, gases, flammable liquids, explosives, and radioactive substances. Due to the potential risks associated with transporting these materials, regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) have established stringent guidelines to safeguard public safety and environmental integrity. In addition, regulators require unique reference numbers that need to be placed on the Bill of Lading, including UN numbers (or UN IDs).
TLI's TMS can manage all of this for you, and our team of experts can route this freight for you!
