Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD is 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, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier may be obliged 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 DAVE'S AUTO & TRUCK SERVICE LLC

Is DAVE'S AUTO & TRUCK SERVICE LLC licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does DAVE'S AUTO & TRUCK SERVICE LLC carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before a 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 distinguishes private carriers, who transport their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads Yes and the enterprise flag is No. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

The carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving house, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 3595113 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating identifier assigned to motor carriers in the United States.

Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

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. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 3595113 and check it there.
