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. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to carry 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.

Is GIFFORDS BACKHOE SERVICES INC licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority.

Does GIFFORDS BACKHOE SERVICES INC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Always ask for 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 separates private carriers, who haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows 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 type of freight does this carrier handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, check 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1673545 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number stays constant. Quote it when you request an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file 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. If safety history matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1673545 and read 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 look into it.
