Reading the insurance rows. 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 record. A carrier may be obliged to hold a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Is the carrier 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 is No and the enterprise flag shows No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.
