What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, usually a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can be required to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about JIM POTTER & SONS, INC.

That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, which tells you 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does JIM POTTER & SONS, INC. carry insurance?

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

Owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration separates private carriers, who move 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 spot quote.

What 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 is set to No and the household goods carrier flag shows Yes. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are relocating, because it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How do 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 246343 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number assigned to US motor carriers in the United States.

Use it when you request an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

Safety and compliance data is held in the FMCSA's carrier snapshot rather than on this page, and it is only available for carriers that have been inspected. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 246343 and read it there.
