Hazardous materials, handled by the book

Hazmat freight has no margin for shortcuts. Wrong placards, missing declarations, or an uncertified driver can strand your load, trigger fines, or worse. AEEM arranges hazardous materials transport across all nine hazard classes through carriers with current hazmat certifications, verified before every dispatch.

From our Los Angeles base we cover lithium batteries, flammables, corrosives, compressed gases, and other regulated cargo nationwide, including hazmat container moves from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Classification, shipping papers, placarding, and emergency response information are confirmed before a wheel turns.

Frequently asked questions

Hazmat shipping, answered

Straight answers on hazard classes, documentation, placarding, and certified carriers.

What are the nine hazmat classes?

Class 1 explosives, Class 2 gases, Class 3 flammable liquids, Class 4 flammable solids, Class 5 oxidizers and organic peroxides, Class 6 toxic and infectious substances, Class 7 radioactive material, Class 8 corrosives, and Class 9 miscellaneous dangerous goods such as lithium batteries. AEEM arranges transport across all nine.

How is hazmat freight priced?

Hazmat moves carry a surcharge over standard freight, driven by hazard class, commodity, quantity, and lane. Certified capacity is tighter than dry van, which affects rates. Every AEEM quote is all-in, with hazmat fees, fuel, and accessorials included upfront.

What documentation does a hazmat shipment need?

Shipping papers with UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, and quantity, plus emergency response information and a 24-hour emergency contact. We prepare and verify the paperwork before dispatch so your freight moves without compliance holds.

Can you ship lithium batteries?

Yes. Lithium batteries move as Class 9 dangerous goods with specific packaging, marking, and quantity rules that differ by battery type and watt-hour rating. We confirm the correct provisions for your product before booking.

Are your drivers hazmat certified?

Every hazmat load runs on carriers with current hazmat registrations and drivers holding hazmat endorsements on their CDL. We verify certifications before every dispatch, not after.

Do you handle hazmat containers from the ports?

Yes. We coordinate hazmat container pickups at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, managing terminal hazmat procedures, proper interchange documentation, and placarded drayage through certified carriers.
