Ship Hazmat Right.
Every Load. Every Placard. Every Paper.
A wrong placard, a shipping paper out of order, a lapsed recurrent training — each one is an out-of-service order waiting at the next scale. X3 HazMat scores your program, validates every shipment before it moves, and cites the exact 49 CFR section behind every answer. Twenty-five tools and twelve specialist agents, grounded in Parts 171–180.
One Wrong Placard Is an Out-of-Service Order.
Hazmat is the one part of the fleet where a clerical mistake stops the truck. The placard that doesn’t match the load. The shipping paper with the basic description in the wrong order. The emergency-response number nobody checked. The loader whose three-year recurrent training quietly expired in March. Every one of them is written up at roadside, every one of them carries a civil penalty, and every one of them was preventable before the trailer doors closed.
The regulation is nine parts and thousands of entries. Your shipper has one afternoon.
Your Load In. A Cited Answer Out.
Tell X3 what’s on the load — the UN numbers, quantities, packaging and the lane — and it classifies, packages, placards, papers and segregates the shipment against 49 CFR Parts 171–180, then scores the whole thing before the truck moves. Every fix comes with the section it would be cited under.
Proper shipping name, hazard class, UN number and packing group from the §172.101 table — or from the SDS you paste in.
Authorized packagings from Column 8 and Parts 173/178, performance level, closures, and limited-quantity options.
Exactly which placards, labels and markings the load requires — and which it doesn’t.
The §172.202 basic description in the right order, the 24-hour number, the shipper’s certification.
Every UN pair on the load checked against the §177.848 table before anything is loaded together.
Who needs §172.704 training, when recurrent is due, and whether §172.800 requires a security plan.
Stop guessing at the table. Start shipping with the cite.
One Pass. Every Fix. Every Cite.
A sample load run through the Shipment Validator: the score, what passed, and the cited fix for everything that didn’t — while the trailer is still at the dock.
- No 24-hour emergency phone confirmed — add a monitored 24-hour number (e.g. CHEMTREC) to the shipping paper (49 CFR 172.604)
- UN1942 Ammonium nitrate (Div. 5.1) must be separated from the gasoline so the contents can’t commingle on a leak — review the loading against the segregation table (49 CFR 177.848)
Twenty-Five Tools. One Plan. Every Load Covered.
Every tool below is included in the X3 HazMat plan — from $99/mo for your first 10 trucks. Each one does a real job before the truck moves and shows the 49 CFR section behind the answer. Most answer instantly from a curated table of 68 common UN materials, the DOT placard set and the §177.848 segregation table; anything outside the table is researched and cited by the HazMat Concierge and the twelve specialist agents — also included.

Classify. Package. Placard. Paper. Prove.
X3 walks the shipment through the regulation in the order the regulation expects it — so the load that leaves the dock is the load the shipping paper describes, and the record proves it.
Classify the material
Paste the SDS or the shipping name. Hazard class, UN number, packing group and special provisions from the §172.101 table.
Choose the packaging
Authorized packagings, performance level, closure instructions — and whether limited quantity or an exception applies.
Placard, mark and label
Every placard, mark and label the load requires, previewed, with a printable spec sheet for the dock.
Write the paper
A print-ready §172.202 shipping paper — description in sequence, emergency-response information, the 24-hour number, the certification.
Segregate and load
Every UN pair on the trailer checked against §177.848, plus class-specific loading and securement rules.
Validate before it moves
One pass over the whole shipment returns the score and every fix, cited, while it can still be fixed.
Train and prove
Function-specific training on file, the recurrent cycle tracked, the audit packet ready before anyone asks.
The order the regulation expects. Every step cited.
The Program Stays Current. Not Just the Last Shipment.
Hazmat compliance is a calendar as much as a checklist: three-year recurrent training for every hazmat employee, the PHMSA registration renewal, security-plan reviews, special-permit expirations, the 30-day incident report. X3 re-checks every permit, special permit and PHMSA registration you track every day and alerts you at 60, 30, 14 and 7 days and on the expiry date — in your dashboard and in a daily email. The Training Tracker builds each hazmat employee’s training plan and three-year recurrent schedule, and the program re-scores every time you re-run the Readiness Score or the Shipment Validator.
Training cycles, registration renewals, special permits, security-plan reviews, incident deadlines.
The obligation that slipped, the employee or permit it belongs to, the section it would be cited under.
To the shipper, the safety manager or the terminal lead — with the date.
Each closed item lands in the program record, ready for the audit packet.
Your safety manager shouldn’t find out about a lapsed permit at the scale. X3 tells them 60 days out.
See Every Hazmat Exposure Before It Reaches the Scale.
One view of the program: today’s shipments and their scores, the drivers and loaders with training due, the registrations and permits coming up, and the open fixes — the answer to “what would an inspector find?”
One dock or forty. One answer to “what would they find?”
Twelve Specialists. One HazMat Brain.
A crew of specialist agents, each scoped to a real hazmat job and grounded in verified 49 CFR Parts 171–180. They classify, package, placard, segregate and validate — then cite the exact section behind every answer. Classifications are draft decision-support: verify against the §172.101 table and your SDS before shipping.
Roadside, With Nothing to Fix.
A hazmat inspection at a fleet that runs X3 is a placard that matches, a paper in order, an ERG guide on the seat and a driver whose training is current. At a fleet that doesn’t, it’s an out-of-service order and a penalty letter. X3 HazMat puts every load in the first group — before the doors close.
See the placard, paper or training gap while the trailer is still at the dock.
Close the fixes that stop trucks, with the cite and an owner.
Hand over the paper, the training record and the audit packet.
