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

Is BISON TRANSPORT INC. licensed to operate?

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

Does BISON TRANSPORT INC. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $15,000,000, against a federal minimum of $5,000,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as Not on file, and the surety bond is On file. Always ask for the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Is this an 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. 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?

How should 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 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 single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 245330 mean?

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

Have it to hand 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. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 245330 and check it there.
