How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can be required to hold 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.

That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether any revocation is in progress. The register is maintained by the U.S. FMCSA and the relevant provincial transportation authority, and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does ELROD CARTAGE LTD. carry insurance?

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

Owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration separates private carriers, who transport their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag shows No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

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

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and verify 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 common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 287644 mean?

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

Quote it when you request an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

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 287644 and read it there.
