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. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can 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 request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about PINNACLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, INC.

Is PINNACLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, INC. licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common & Contract Authority. That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than being inferred, so it shows 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does PINNACLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, 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 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 is 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 freight does the company handle?

The carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are relocating, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

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 confirm 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 single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 856735 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number assigned to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number does not. Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

Safety and compliance data is published through 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 856735 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 wrong, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will look into it.
