What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. 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 request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about CENTRAL ILLINOIS TRANSPORTATION, INC.

Is CENTRAL ILLINOIS TRANSPORTATION, INC. licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common, Contract & Broker Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than being inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does CENTRAL ILLINOIS TRANSPORTATION, INC. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as Not on file, and the surety bond is On file. Always ask for the actual certificate 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 transport 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 spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving house, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How do 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 check that the phone number you are given matches the one published on the operator's own listing. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 173005 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number given 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 ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores 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 173005 and review it there.
