Dangerous goods on LeShuttle Freight
Declaring dangerous goods
Vehicles can carry dangerous goods in accordance with our policy on the carriage of dangerous goods.
In order to save time, account holders can declare their dangerous goods in advance by logging onto their online account.
What to do on arrival
All dangerous goods must be declared and accompanied with the correct paperwork, unless your vehicle is only carrying limited quantities.
The process is fast and efficient, so to avoid any unnecessary delays with your dangerous goods transport, it is essential that all paperwork is legible and always includes the following information:
- UN number
- Current ADR references (Class, Packing Group & Classification Code, if required)
- Proper Shipping Name of goods carried (including their volume or weight)
- Details of packaging (number and description)
- Quantity (net / gross mass as appropriate)
Prior to the vehicle’s arrival, customers must ensure that their driver has the full dangerous goods declaration.
At the Freight Driver Centres
Drivers will be issued a "DG" sticker. It is important that it is displayed in the vehicle’s windscreen at all times as this is used to identify the dangerous goods loads so they can be positioned in the correct place on the freight shuttles. Failure to do so will result in delays for both your own loads and other customers' as all the vehicles will need to be exited from the shuttle and re-positioned.
