Questions
What is class 5 oxidizers freight?
Freight carrying oxidizers and organic peroxides such as pool chemicals, hydrogen peroxide, ammonium nitrate and bleaching agents. Placards: Oxidizer or Organic Peroxide. Common UN numbers: UN1479 (oxidizing solid n.o.s.), UN2014 (hydrogen peroxide), UN1942 (ammonium nitrate). The driver needs a hazmat endorsement, the carrier needs hazmat registration and the right insurance, and the bill of lading must carry the proper shipping name, UN number, class and packing group.
How much more does Class 5 freight pay than dry van?
LIVE's published rate table does not break out Class 5 separately yet because the load count is small; the lane pages below carry what has moved. Use the Mixed hazmat figures in the calculator as a guide.
Who can haul Class 5 freight?
A carrier with hazmat registration, a driver with the H endorsement and training on the shipper's product, placards on all four sides, and insurance at the level the shipper's contract requires. Most load boards hide these loads from carriers without the endorsement, which is why the rates sit above dry van.
Where does this data come from?
