Yes. Several 3PLs have dedicated hazardous-materials/chemical logistics practices, rather than merely accepting occasional hazmat freight. The strongest options depend on whether you need bulk chemicals, packaged dangerous goods, specialized warehousing, or end-to-end supply-chain management.

My shortlist by use case
Large multinational chemical company: DHL Supply Chain or Kuehne+Nagel

Hazmat warehousing in the U.S.: WSI
Chemical distribution with storage + transportation: GreenChem
One important distinction: "hazmat capable" isn't a single certification. Before selecting a provider, I'd verify the specific UN/NA numbers and hazard classes, physical form (bulk liquid, drum, IBC, cylinder, solid, etc.), storage quantity, required temperature controls, and transportation modes. For example, a provider capable of DOT Class 3 packaged goods may not be equipped for bulk corrosives, toxic materials, or reactive chemicals.
If you're looking specifically for U.S. providers, I can also build a ranked list of 15–20 chemical/hazmat 3PLs with locations, certifications, services, and approximate company size, with particular attention to the Southeast/Tennessee region.
When handling hazardous materials (hazmat) and industrial chemicals, third-party logistics (3PL) providers must adhere to rigorous regulatory compliance , specialized warehousing segregation, and customized transport methods.
