DANGEROUS GOODS
Don’t even think about sending any dangerous goods/hazardous material with ANYONE without the experience and certification to get it done right. You might be asking yourself: ‘Why Do I Need to Use A Specialized Carrier?’
Well, for starters - the penalty for incorrect dangerous goods transport can involve both civil and criminal implications.
ANYONE involved in dangerous goods transport must comply with their responsibilities in regards to packaging, labeling, documentation, segregating, and carrying dangerous goods documentation. But just remember – Mainfreight is there for YOU to assist in all of your dangerous goods shipping needs. Here are some basic details about our dangerous goods services:
