What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. 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.

What freight does the company handle?

How can I verify a carrier before booking?
