What the insurance lines mean. 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 filing. A carrier can legally be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required but not on file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about STEWART & SONS LTD

Is STEWART & SONS LTD licensed to operate?

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

Does STEWART & SONS LTD carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,000,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as 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 the 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 spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier 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 reads No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving a move, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, check 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 frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 416425 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to motor carriers in the United States.
