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 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 a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.
