How do these Hazmat fees work? We pay everytime we place an order - but a little web searching appears to indicate the trucking companies pay a flat one-time yearly fee for hauling hazmat material. I read it was recently reduced - "The DOT substantially lowered hazmat fees from $2,000 to $300 for large truck companies and $250 to $150 for small truck companies after an industry lawsuit."
If we're still paying $20 or whatever it is everytime we order - someone is getting screwed and it's not the truckers or the government.
