It is the fuel and flammable-liquids arm of Long Road's hazmat transportation.
What fuel and flammable liquids we haul
Long Road moves the Class 3 freight that lands in containers: diesel, fuel, kerosene, solvents, paints, lacquers, adhesives, and resins, packaged in drums, totes, and IBCs. The load comes off the terminal in its container, and Long Road runs it to the receiver under the placarding and securement the commodity calls for. Tell dispatch the proper shipping name and the packaging, and the move is planned around it.
Call dispatch at (425) 800-4609 with your Class 3 shipping name and lane, and Long Road plans the placarding, securement, and route the same day.

A flammable-liquids move runs in two legs: the dray off the marine terminal, and the road delivery that follows.
Drayage for packaged flammable liquids
Long Road drays Class 3 container drayage off the Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma terminals, both under the Northwest Seaport Alliance. Dispatch lines up the terminal appointment, watches the release, and gets the container out before the last free day, so demurrage stays off the bill.
Road delivery for Class 3 freight
Beyond the terminal, Long Road carries the freight to the receiver by over-the-road delivery, running local and long-haul across Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and the rest of the United States, and cross-border to Canada. The container rides on Long Road's own chassis; cargo that travels on the deck goes on a stepdeck, RGN, or 4-axle flatbed sized to the load.
What makes a liquid Class 3
A Class 3 flammable liquid has a flash point of 60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit) or lower, the point at which it gives off enough vapor to ignite. That flash point is why the load needs placarding, a HAZMAT-endorsed driver, and careful securement. Within Class 3, the packing group sets how strict the handling is:
| Packing group | Degree of hazard | Typical examples |
|---|---|---|
| I | High | low-flash-point solvents |
| II | Medium | gasoline, many fuels |
| III | Lower | diesel, kerosene, many paints |
Send the proper shipping name and packing group and dispatch plans the move to match.
Compliance and tanker-endorsed drivers
Every Long Road fuel move runs to 49 CFR and the PHMSA and FMCSA rules behind it, under USDOT 3388302, MC 113242, and SCAC LRDP. Drivers hold active HAZMAT and tanker endorsements with recurrent training, the equipment is inspected for dangerous-goods transport, and each load carries the documentation, placarding, and securement that keep it compliant from origin to delivery. The fleet is serviced in Long Road's own repair shop, so a Class 3 load keeps moving on the carrier's own equipment.
Why Long Road for fuel freight
Because Long Road runs its own fleet of 200+ units of private chassis and equipment, a flammable-liquids load never waits on someone else's capacity. The carrier has hauled regulated freight since 2020, holds UIIA membership and NWSA access, and works with all the major steamship lines. Experienced drivers and dependable private equipment keep total ground-transportation costs down by over 20%, cutting delays, mark-up charges, and demurrage.
Call (425) 800-4609 for flammable-liquids freight on Long Road's own fleet, with tanker-endorsed drivers and over 20% off total ground-transport cost.

Give dispatch the delivery order, the schedule, and the dangerous-goods details: UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, the Safety Data Sheet, and the packaging the load travels in. From there Long Road books the terminal appointment, puts a HAZMAT- and tanker-endorsed driver on the load, and delivers to the receiver, with live tracking at the terminals so standby times stay visible the whole way.
Fuel shipping questions shippers ask
Do your drivers need a HAZMAT and tanker endorsement to haul fuel?
Yes. Long Road's drivers carry both the HAZMAT and tanker endorsements, plus recurrent training and a TWIC for terminal access, so a Class 3 load is covered by a qualified driver start to finish.
What documents does a Class 3 fuel shipment need?
The UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, and Safety Data Sheet, plus the placarding the class calls for. Include them with the delivery order and Long Road takes it from there.
