Hazmat / DG Shipment Tracker
Milestone tracking tuned for hazmat / dg shipments — with the un number / class detail this cargo's decisions depend on.
Sources & references
- Hazmat / DG Shipment handling and transport practices (industry/regulatory guidance)
- Carrier milestone notification feeds; cargo-specific documentation standards
This tracker stores data locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded. It complements (not replaces) carrier track-and-trace: enter milestones from your carrier's notifications to keep one consolidated, private view across all providers.
Tracking hazmat / dg shipments means tracking dangerous goods moving under UN classification, segregation and documentation rules. The generic milestones still apply — booked through delivered — but what each one MEANS is cargo-specific, and the board's extra field (un number / class) carries the detail this cargo's decisions hinge on.
About Hazmat / DG Shipment Tracker
The risk reality: the tracking risk is regulatory, not just logistical: a DG shipment held for paperwork sits in a bonded corner accruing charges while every re-inspection adds days — and misdeclaration discovered mid-route is a fine plus a stranded box. Run the board on that risk's clock: statuses updated at the cadence the cargo decays or the schedule demands, the extra field kept current, and every stall escalated against what it costs THIS cargo — not what it would cost a generic pallet. The CSV history doubles as your lane-performance record for the next contract round.

Frequently asked questions
Why do hazmat shipments get held more often?+
Because three documents must agree perfectly — the DG declaration, the SDS and the package marks — and any mismatch triggers re-inspection, re-documentation or rejection at vessel planning. The fix is upstream (a DG checklist before tender); the tracking job is catching the hold within hours, because a DG box parked at a terminal is paying hazmat-premium storage.
What makes hazmat / dg shipment tracking different from generic freight?+
The constraint encoded in the un number / class field: the tracking risk is regulatory, not just logistical: a DG shipment held for paperwork sits in a bonded corner accruing charges while every re-inspection adds days. Generic trackers show where freight is; cargo-specific tracking shows whether the plan still works for what this freight IS — and that difference is where the expensive mistakes hide.
How often should statuses be updated for this cargo?+
At the cargo's own tempo, not the carrier's reporting cycle. Hazmat / DG Shipments set their cadence by their risk clock — for time-critical variants that means same-day (sometimes same-hour) updates around the vulnerable milestones, relaxing only where the cargo genuinely can wait. A stale status on this board is a decision being made blind somewhere downstream.
Does the data leave my browser?+
No — storage is local to your device (localStorage), nothing uploads, which suits the commercially sensitive details this cargo type involves. Use CSV export deliberately when sharing is the point: claim files, customer reports, team handoffs. Private by default, shareable on purpose.
