Finding a transport carrier that is willing to transport Dangerous Goods efficiently and cost effectively can be an arduous task. Most general carriers look the other way when a request for transporting Dangerous Goods presents itself. The reason for this is that most transport companies don’t have the right accreditation or infrastructure, and the carriers that do, generally cannot provide their customers with reasonable transit times and high levels of service.

The transportation of Dangerous Goods is a complex process, encompassing a variety of regulations and mandatory requirements to be met by the carrier, the vehicle and the driver.

Network Express deals with carriers that are Dangerous Goods accredited ensuring that your Dangerous Goods freight is handled in the correct way and moved for a reasonable price.

The SHIPPER must supply certain details about the goods, including :

NAME
CLASS and/or SUBSIDIARY RISK
UN NUMBER
NUMBER and TYPE OF PACKAGES SENT
QUANTITY OF GOODS BEING SENT
