How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means 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, generally the 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 treat any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about CARACAS TRANSPORTATION INC

Is CARACAS TRANSPORTATION INC licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does CARACAS TRANSPORTATION INC carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before any load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier 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 shows No and the enterprise flag reads 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. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Check the household goods flag if you are moving house, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 2642025 mean?

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

Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file a freight claim.

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 2642025 and read it there.
