How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, generally the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can legally be required to hold a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Does INDIANA STEEL CARRIERS INC. carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Always ask for the actual certificate before any 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 haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag shows No. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 2017701 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating identifier 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 stays constant. Quote 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 held 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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 2017701 and read it there.
