    Any advice on hauling hazmat with hotshot? Class II or IX. Never hauled it before, but seems like hazmat certified carriers are in demand and I'm certified...thanks

    How are you certified?

    You have the right insurance and permits?

    Yeah, did a lot of hazmat work but I did it under the insurance of LS and with their permits.

    Still don't get the certified thing....

    sorry, Insert "licensed" instead of "certified"......hazmat on DL license.....taken and passed state licensing hazmat exam in accordance with CFR 49 parts 100-185.

    Do you carry the minimum $5 million dollars liability insurance required to haul Hazmat?

    Yeah hauling hazmat seems like a great idea until you look for insurance. Have you got real work lined up or did you just figure there was demand? If it's the latter likely you'll find the insurance cost prohibitive.
