Everyone understands the importance of costs, but at ASTL we also understand safety is a top priority. When choosing transporters have you:

• Reviewed the transporters safety, compliance and training logs?
• Made sure each driver has received 40 hours training in hazardous material handling?
• Notified the transporter of the proper care and handling of your hazardous load?
• Determine that the transporter has at minimum 5 million dollars insurance for hazardous shipments? Do they list you as an additional insured?
• Verified that the transporter has the necessary permits for continuous travel throughout the 48 states to haul your hazardous load?

Those of you who have been managing your own specialized transportation requirements are well aware of the problems that develop that can result in tens of thousands of dollars in additional costs:

• Slow or No Shows
• Storage Requirements Exceeded
• Pricey Line Hauls
• Excessive, Undocumented Detention Charges
• Difficulty in Locating Specialized Equipment

These are just a few of the questions you need to ask before securing your valuable freight with someone. With all the responsibilities and demands placed in front of you, are you confident that you have completed all the necessary due diligence?
