How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required-but-not-on-file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about PORTAGE TRANSPORT INC.

Is PORTAGE TRANSPORT INC. licensed to operate?

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

Does PORTAGE TRANSPORT INC. carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,000,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as 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 the carrier an owner-operator or a fleet?

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

What type of freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving house, because it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and read the authority status, check 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 771941 mean?

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

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

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. If safety history matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 771941 and check it there.
