How to read the insurance lines. 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, generally the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to hold a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required but not on file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about PENTA TRANSPORT LTD.

Is PENTA TRANSPORT LTD. licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than being inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is operated by the U.S. FMCSA and the relevant provincial transportation authority, and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does PENTA TRANSPORT LTD. carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before a 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 separates private carriers, who haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads No and the enterprise flag shows No. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

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

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, 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 single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 944835 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating identifier assigned 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.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?

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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 944835 and check it there.
