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

The register is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does BELL TRUCKING CO. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, 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 the day a policy is issued.

Is this an owner-operator or a fleet?

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

What freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 138982 mean?

Quote it when you ask for 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 138982 and check it there.
