What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to carry 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.

Does TOWNE TOWING 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 Not on file. Always ask for the actual certificate before a 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 move 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 this carrier handle?

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 1878430 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number does not. 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 is held 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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1878430 and read it there.
