Is a company that was not approved to operate as a haulage contractor, allowed to transport hazardous materials?
- Yes, when the driver has a Class C+E driver’s license.
- Yes, it is permitted to transport hazardous materials, provided that the driver has at least 10 years of driving experience.
- Yes, it is permitted to transport hazardous materials in all vehicles – according to the common rules.
- Correct answer: No.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No.
Hazardous materials may only be transported by a company approved as a haulage contractor, which must meet special requirements. A driver's Class C+E licence or many years of driving experience do not replace this approval, and such transport is never done under the common rules. Without approval, the company may not transport hazardous materials at all.
