How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, check 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 most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 637395 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number assigned to motor carriers in the United States.
