Each shipment must include a shipping document that lists the proper shipping name, UN number, class, packing group, and quantity of each dangerous good. A safety data sheet (SDS) must accompany the shipment, and a dangerous goods declaration is required for air transport. All documents must be retained for at least two years.

We conduct pre-trip inspections of all vehicles and equipment, verify driver TDGA training certificates, and maintain a digital log of each driver’s certification expiry. Our dispatch system automatically flags any driver or vehicle that is out of compliance before a load is assigned.

An ERAP is a mandatory plan for high-risk dangerous goods, such as toxic gases and certain flammable liquids. It details the procedures, equipment, and personnel required to respond to a release or accident during transport. Transport Canada must approve the plan before the shipment can move.

Yes. When multiple dangerous goods are loaded together, the placard must display the primary class of the most hazardous material. If the load contains goods from different classes that require different placards, the vehicle must display placards for each class present. Our compliance team reviews each load to ensure correct placarding.

We use insulated and temperature-controlled trailers for materials that require stable thermal conditions, such as certain organic peroxides and self-reactive substances. Each trailer is equipped with remote temperature monitoring that alerts our operations center if the temperature deviates outside the specified range.
