What Is Specialty & Hazardous Freight?
Specialty freight includes any cargo that doesn't fit typical shipping categories — such as oversized equipment, fragile items, or high-value loads.
Hazardous freight refers to materials classified by the Department of Transportation (DOT) as dangerous, including chemicals, gases, flammable liquids, or corrosives.
