Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can legally be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required but not on file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about ARAB CARTAGE & EXPRESS CO., INC.

Is ARAB CARTAGE & EXPRESS CO., INC. licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common & Contract Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than being inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does ARAB CARTAGE & EXPRESS CO., INC. carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before a load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who transport their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag is No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

This carrier is registered as a Trucking & Household Goods Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag reads Yes. Check the household goods flag if you are moving house, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and read the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and confirm that the phone number you are given matches the one published on the operator's own listing. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 188223 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number stays constant. Use it when you ask for an insurance certificate, verify authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

Safety and compliance data appears in the FMCSA's carrier snapshot rather than on this page, and it is only available for carriers that have been inspected. If safety history is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 188223 and check it there.

Information on this page is built from the official federal carrier record and from the operator's published business listing. If you are the carrier and something here is incorrect, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will check it.
