Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD is 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, typically a 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 treat any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

That wording is taken from the registration record rather than being inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a 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 BUDDYS AUTO CENTER INC carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated the 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 shows No and the enterprise flag is No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, 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 1739010 mean?

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

Quote 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. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 1739010 and check it there.
