Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to maintain 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.

Frequently asked questions about PLANET LOGISTICS INC

Is PLANET LOGISTICS INC licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than being inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does PLANET LOGISTICS INC carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, 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 on the same day a policy is issued.

Is this an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration separates private carriers, who move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is No and the enterprise flag is No. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

This carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Check the household goods flag if you are moving a move, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up 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.

What does USDOT 2442648 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number assigned to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number stays constant. Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

Safety and compliance data is held in the FMCSA's carrier snapshot rather than on this page, and it is only available for carriers that have been inspected. If safety history is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 2442648 and read it there.
