Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, typically the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to hold 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.

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than being inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether any 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 MICHAEL LAPP carry insurance?

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

Is this an owner-operator or a fleet?

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

What freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag reads No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving a move, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and check 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 frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1549350 mean?

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

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

Safety and compliance data is published through the FMCSA's carrier snapshot rather than on this page, and it is only available for carriers that have been inspected. If safety history matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1549350 and read it there.
