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