The hazmat compliance brain for motor carriers hauling regulated freight. Every placard verified. Every shipping paper validated. Every UN number indexed. Every CFR section cited.
Built on 100 open-source hazmat skills — Apache 2.0, fully public, auditable.
These are real, federally-codified fines. Hazmat compliance is the highest-stakes corner of motor-carrier regulation. Hazmat Center is $99/month.
Compass Hazmat Center covers the full regulatory surface — highway, rail, air, ocean. Every class. Every division. Every CFR section.
Add to any Compass tier. Auto-activates when your fleet logs its first hazmat load.
Driver photographs all 4 sides before departure. AI verifies: placard present, correct class for the load, ID number panel readable, condition acceptable. Fails the check → driver gets specific fix instructions before rolling.
Upload the BOL. AI checks every required element per 49 CFR 172.200 — UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, total quantity, emergency response telephone. Missing field → flagged before driver leaves the dock.
Type a UN number. Get the Emergency Response Guide page with isolation distances, protection distances, fire response, spill response, first aid. 3,500+ UN numbers. Driver-app friendly for roadside use.
Add 2+ materials to the load. Instantly see if they're compatible per 49 CFR 177.848. Class 3 + Class 5.1 oxidizer = blocked with explanation. Saves the load from becoming a roadside violation.
Every hazmat driver tracked: CDL H endorsement expiration, TSA Hazmat Threat Assessment renewal (5-year cycle), state-specific re-tests. Reminders at 90/60/30/14 days. Lapse → driver auto-removed from hazmat dispatch.
49 CFR 172.700 requires hazmat training every 3 years. Per driver: initial date, recurring date, certificate file, training topics. Auto-reminder 90 days before lapse. Audit-ready records.
Annual hazmat registration (July 1 – June 30 cycle). Compass tracks your tier, fee paid, certificate, renewal deadline. Auto-renew reminders. Certificate downloads to your driver app for in-vehicle compliance.
Per tank: spec (DOT-406/407/412/MC-330/331), inspection cycle (annual visual, 1-5 year hydrostatic), certifications. Compass schedules tests, generates reminder, holds vehicle from dispatch if test lapsed.
Avoids tunnels (Holland, Lincoln, Big Dig), follows state-designated routes (CA, NY, NJ, IL), handles Class 7 highway-route-controlled radioactive. Driver app shows compliant turn-by-turn. State permits surfaced.
For carriers transporting security-sensitive hazmat (per 49 CFR 172.800): personnel security, unauthorized access prevention, en-route security, training. Annual review reminders. Compass-drafted template.
Hazmat incident happens? Compass walks the driver through the immediate-notification call (1-800-424-8802), then drafts Form 5800.1 within the 30-day window. Auto-pulls load + driver + carrier details.
Hazmat violations have higher CSA weight + bigger fines. Compass scans every roadside hazmat inspection for contestable patterns — wrong placard code, improperly assigned subsidiary hazard, expired-but-actually-current cargo tank certs. Drafts DataQ challenges.
The hazmat violations that ruin a Friday — and how Compass catches them first.
49 CFR 177.848. Inspector finds at scale. Fine + load returned for re-loading + cargo damage. Compass: blocks the load assignment before dispatch.
X3 publishes 100 open-source compliance skills per vertical before launching the product on top. Hazmat is the first vertical Center. The 100-skill corpus is public on GitHub right now — read every CFR citation, audit every regulatory claim, contribute corrections. The product reasons over this corpus.
You don't — but your drivers do, if you transport placard-required hazmat. Hazmat Center actually helps you track which drivers have valid H endorsements + TSA Threat Assessments, so you don't dispatch them on hazmat loads when expired.
Hazmat Center auto-pauses if no hazmat loads are logged for 60 days. You're not charged when you're not using it. When you book a hazmat load again, it reactivates.
No. Hazmat Center is operational compliance guidance — like having a senior hazmat compliance person on your team. For court / criminal / litigation, we'll tell you to call a transportation attorney. Every regulatory answer cites 49 CFR so you can verify.
Every answer is grounded on the 100-skill open-source hazmat corpus (Apache 2.0, public on GitHub). Every CFR citation is verifiable. We use Claude (Anthropic) — among the most accurate AI models — and the corpus is reviewed by senior FMCSA + PHMSA compliance veterans.
Hazmat Center includes IATA DGR and IMDG Code coverage. If you ship hazmat multimodally (truck to air to ocean), Compass handles the harmonization. Note: IATA-certified air-shipment personnel are still required by law for air; Compass supports but doesn't replace them.
Yes. Self-serve cancel. No friction. 30-day money-back guarantee on top.
TDG (Canada's hazmat regs) is covered. We handle the harmonization with US 49 CFR. Coming Q1: Cross-Border Center as a separate add-on for full Canada + Mexico operations.
Yes. Hazmat Center is the same price ($99/mo) regardless of fleet size. A 1-truck owner-op hauling hazmat gets the same coverage as a 50-truck fleet.
$99/month. Cancel anytime. No card for the 14-day trial.
