01
Hazmat surcharges on every parcel
Flat hazmat fee plus class-specific surcharges, plus documentation handling. Compounds.
Industries · Chemicals & Hazmat
Hazmat surcharges, line by line.
Hazmat shippers pay surcharges other categories never see — and pay them on every shipment. We renegotiate the hazmat fee schedule itself, audit documentation surcharges, and route to the carrier that prices each hazmat class correctly.
Where the money leaks
Three problems we see in every chemicals / hazmat audit.
02
Ground-only routing limits options
Many hazmat classes can't fly. Air-tier negotiation is irrelevant; ground-band negotiation is everything.
03
Carrier-specific hazmat policies vary widely
Same package, different carrier — different price, different acceptance. Routing matters more than usual.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for chemicals / hazmat.
01
Hazmat fee renegotiation
The hazmat schedule itself is negotiable for shippers above a threshold. Most don't ask.
02
Documentation surcharge audit
Documentation handling fees billed automatically; audit recovers misapplied charges.
03
Carrier-specific hazmat routing
Rate-shop knows which carrier prices which hazmat class best, and routes accordingly.
04
Ground-band negotiation
Ground rates negotiated specifically — the only band that matters for most hazmat.
Best fit if you are
- ✓Chemical and cleaning product shippers
- ✓Industrial chemical distributors
- ✓Hazmat-classified DTC brands
- ✓Specialty chemical wholesalers
Probably not for you if
Companies with one-off hazmat exposure — the math is for shippers where most labels carry the surcharge.
