FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About ADR Transport in Spain
How is the price of ADR transport different from standard freight?
ADR shipping rates are higher due to increased safety requirements, mandatory driver training, specialized insurance, and the cost of maintaining certified equipment. On Lardi-Trans, you can compare offers from multiple carriers to find the best market price for your hazardous load.
How do I verify if a carrier has a valid ADR permit?
When choosing a contractor, always request copies of the driver’s ADR training certificate and the vehicle’s ADR certificate of approval. In Spain, you should also ensure the carrier is registered for the specific types of materials they are hauling. Check their Lardi-Trans profile for ratings and historical performance.
Which classes of dangerous goods can be transported?
Through the Lardi-Trans platform, you can find transport for all 9 hazard classes—from explosives and gases to corrosive substances. It is crucial to specify the UN number and hazard class when posting your request to attract carriers with the correct technical specifications.
Does Lardi-Trans handle the transport of dangerous goods directly?
No, we are an information platform (freight exchange) that connects shippers and carriers. Responsibility for complying with transport rules, vehicle marking (orange plates), and having emergency kits lies with the direct contractor (the carrier) you find through our service.
What documents are required for shipping dangerous goods in Spain?
The documentation package is more extensive than standard freight. Besides the "Carta de Porte" or CMR, you need the dangerous goods declaration, instructions in writing (emergency cards), and valid ADR certificates for both the driver and the vehicle.
Can I find transport for international ADR shipments from Spain?
Yes, many carriers on the platform operate on international routes between Spain and the rest of the EU. In these cases, transport is regulated by the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Ensure the carrier has a valid international license and appropriate insurance.
