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 covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally the 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 treat any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Is SLIM-N-HANK'S AUTOBODY SHOP 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 being inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether any revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does SLIM-N-HANK'S AUTOBODY SHOP INC. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before a load moves, because this page reflects 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 move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag is No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

This carrier 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 shows No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are relocating, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and read 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1259356 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating identifier assigned to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number does not. Quote it when you request an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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 1259356 and check it there.

Information on this page is built from the official federal carrier record and from the operator's published business listing. If you are the carrier and something here is incorrect, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will look into it.
