How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier may be obliged to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required-but-not-on-file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about CENTRAL VAN LINES, INC.

Is CENTRAL VAN LINES, INC. licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than 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 shows up in the official snapshot.

Does CENTRAL VAN LINES, INC. carry insurance?

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

Is this an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration separates private carriers, who haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is No and the enterprise flag shows No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

This carrier is registered as a Trucking & Household Goods Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag reads Yes. Check the household goods flag if you are moving house, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up the USDOT number and read 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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 442478 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating identifier assigned to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number does not. Use it when you request an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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 matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 442478 and read 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.
