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 filing. A carrier may be obliged to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about TRANSTRADE INC

Is TRANSTRADE INC licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a 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 TRANSTRADE 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. Ask for the certificate itself before any 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 is No and the enterprise flag shows No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

This carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows 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.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check 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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1883993 mean?

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

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

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. If safety history matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1883993 and read it there.
