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 covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can legally be required to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Does BETTER LIFE TRANS INC carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Owner-operator or a fleet?

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up the USDOT number and read 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.

What does USDOT 3547227 mean?
