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

Frequently asked questions about FINDLATER & SONS CORP

Is FINDLATER & SONS CORP licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether any revocation is in progress. The register is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does FINDLATER & SONS CORP 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. Always ask for 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 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 reads 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?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Check the household goods flag if you are moving house, because it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and confirm that the phone number you are given matches the one published on the operator's own listing. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1547570 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating identifier assigned to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number does not. Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?

Safety and compliance data is published through 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 1547570 and check it there.
