What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, typically the 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 read any required but not on file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Does S&S TOWING INC carry insurance?

The filing lists 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 Not on file. Request the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

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 shows No. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and verify 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.

What does USDOT 2783146 mean?
