What the insurance lines mean. 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, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can be required to hold a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required but not on file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about SIMKE INC

Is SIMKE INC licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted 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 maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does SIMKE INC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself 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 distinguishes private carriers, who haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag reads No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are relocating, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

Phone: +1 773-825-5378

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and read the authority status, compare 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 3082906 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to 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 stays constant. Have it to hand when you request an insurance certificate, verify authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

Safety and compliance data appears in 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 3082906 and check it there.

Information on this page is built from the official federal carrier record and from the operator's published business listing. If you are the carrier and something here is wrong, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will review it.
