Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.
