Understanding The Haz-Mat BASIC: Key Insights for Carriers and Brokers
April 23, 2026

Through this Safety Matters edition of the podcast, we highlight Haz-Mat Compliance as we continue our series exploring the Seven BASICS that are a part of FMCSA’s Compliance, Safety and Accountability Enforcement Program. Mark Barlar and Daniel Vega from the Reliance Partners Safety Impact Team return to the podcast to serve as our subject-matter experts. As you will hear, Mark and Daniel will provide insights on what qualifies as a hazardous load and how to properly identify a haz-mat load. They will also tell us about the top violations found during hazardous materials inspections and how to prevent them. In addition, Mark and Daniel have a collection of helpful pointers that they will share on a number of considerations related to haz-mat cargo.

Thom Albrecht, the Chief Revenue Officer at Reliance Partners, will serve as the host for this episode of the podcast and he will serve as the moderator of the discussion. This presentation was originally shared on April 14th as part of the Reliance Partners live webinar series on the Seven BASICS.
