For hazmat shippers · Early access

Clean paper leaves your dock. Every hazmat load you offer.

Under 49 CFR you certify that every hazmat shipment you offer is described and prepared correctly — the shipping paper is that record. A missing technical name, a wrong packing group, or no emergency number becomes the carrier's roadside violation and your liability. HaulGuard checks your paper against the federal tables before it ships.

Why the paper is your problem

The certification on a hazmat shipping paper is the shipper's. When something's wrong, the liability doesn't stop at the driver.

You certify it

By signing the shipper's certification (49 CFR 172.204), you attest the shipment is properly classed, described, packaged, marked, and in condition to transport. A defect you never caught is still a defect you signed for — and one an inspector can trace straight back to your dock.

Carriers now see it

Carriers running HaulGuard scan every hazmat BOL at pickup and can see which shippers hand them defective paperwork, defect by defect. Clean paper isn't just compliance — it's how you stay the shipper carriers want to haul for.

What HaulGuard checks on your shipping paper

The same validation engine that runs on the driver side, pointed at your paper — every finding cited to the section it comes from.

✓
Basic description, in order, with the technical name. UN/NA number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group in the required sequence — and the technical name in parentheses for n.o.s. and generic entries.49 CFR 172.202 · 172.203(k)
✓
The placards the load actually requires. Table 1 and Table 2 determinations, including the DANGEROUS placard and bulk rules — computed, not guessed.49 CFR 172.504
✓
Materials that can't ride together. Every pair on the load checked against the segregation table for prohibited and separation-required combinations.49 CFR 177.848
✓
A usable 24-hour emergency response number. Present, correctly formatted, and not a filler line.49 CFR 172.604
✓
EPA / RCRA waste codes. Format and range validated against the D / F / K / P / U lists for hazardous-waste manifests.40 CFR 261

Every defect comes back as a specific correction — the exact line, rewritten the way 49 CFR wants it, with the rule cited — not a vague "this looks wrong."
