Taking risks when handling hazardous material shipments is never a good idea. While some carriers have stopped transporting hazmat due to insurance and regulatory concerns, Landstar has taken a different approach. They have gone above and beyond to ensure every step is performed safely.
All Landstar owner-operators must have hazmat certification, and the company has strict compliance measures that surpass state and federal requirements. Safety is always their top priority, especially when it comes to hazmat shipments.

Additionally, they have appropriate insurance levels and coverages for hazmat transportation.
