If the "upcharge" is minimal yes, if not no. In all my years I think I have only hauled a handful of haz-mat deck loads.

When I apply for my authority it asks wether I will be a hazard material carrier or motor carrier which do I chose?
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question thanks

I'm pretty sure the minimum insurance for a HM carrier is 5 million, as well as all the compliance issues. Do you have a HM customer, if not, why in the world would you be a HM carrier?
