How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD stands for 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 a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. 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 grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about JACK HOOD TRANSPORTATION, INC.

Is JACK HOOD TRANSPORTATION, INC. licensed to operate?

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

Does JACK HOOD TRANSPORTATION, INC. carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, 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 shows No and the enterprise flag reads 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?

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 reads No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving a move, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 215049 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given 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 stays constant. Use it when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores 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 215049 and read it there.

Information on this page is compiled 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 check it.
