Hazmat liquid bulk transport
Total Connection arranges hazardous liquid bulk transportation in DOT 407 and DOT 412 tankers and ISO tanks for Class 3, 6.1, 8 and 5.2 products, with the SDS reviewed, the trailer and lining matched, the wash specified and the placards and shipping papers prepared before dispatch. US, Canada and Mexico, since 1995.
What hazmat liquid bulk transport involves
A hazardous liquid moves in bulk only when four things line up: a trailer whose shell and lining are compatible with the product, a carrier holding current hazmat registration with a tank-endorsed driver, a wash that removes the prior cargo to the receiver's specification, and paperwork that matches the UN number on the placard. Total Connection checks each against the SDS before a rate is quoted, then coordinates loading, transit and unloading with both sites.
The service covers spot loads and contract lanes for flammables, corrosives, toxics and organic peroxides, domestic and cross-border, with ISO tanks for lanes that continue by rail or ocean.

Hazmat liquid bulk FAQ
Which hazmat classes can you move in bulk?
Class 3, 6.1, 8 and 5.2 liquids in DOT 407 and 412 tankers, and Class 2 liquefied gases in MC 331 pressure trailers. Some products require a dedicated or single-commodity trailer, which we confirm from the SDS.
Do you prepare the hazmat shipping papers?
Yes. Shipping papers, emergency response information and placard instructions are prepared from the SDS and verified against the bill of lading before dispatch.
Can hazardous bulk liquids cross into Canada or Mexico?
Yes. We arrange cross-border tanker moves with carriers authorized for the class in both countries and coordinate the customs, TDG or NOM documentation.
What insurance covers a hazmat tanker load?
Total Connection carries $5 million in general liability, and the carrier's cargo, auto liability and pollution coverage are confirmed for the class before tender.
