Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry 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 record. A carrier can legally 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 FRUGAL TRANSPORT, INC.

Is FRUGAL TRANSPORT, INC. licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does FRUGAL TRANSPORT, INC. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance reads 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 distinguishes private carriers, who move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads No and the enterprise flag reads 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?

The carrier 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 needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify 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 frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1602556 mean?

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

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

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 matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1602556 and check it there.
