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 applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier may be obliged 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.

Does SUMMIT CORP OF AMERICA carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request 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.

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 reads 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?

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, 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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 253294 mean?
