We theoretically study the quantum transport in a three-dimensional spin-1 chiral fermion system in the presence of impurity scattering. Within the self-consistent Born approximation, we find peak structure of the density of states and significant suppression of electrical conductivity around the zero energy. The zero-energy conductivity depends less on impurity concentration, unlike a Weyl fermion. These properties originate from the flat band structure of spin-1 chiral fermion.
