How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, typically 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 take any required but not on file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about JOE SCHMIDT TRUCKING LLC

Is JOE SCHMIDT TRUCKING 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 being inferred, so it shows 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does JOE SCHMIDT TRUCKING LLC carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. 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 separates 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 type of freight does this carrier handle?

This carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are relocating, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and read 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 3172447 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number assigned to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number stays constant. Have it to hand when you request an insurance certificate, check authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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 matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 3172447 and read it there.

Information on this page is drawn from the official federal carrier record and from the operator's published business listing. If you are the carrier and something here is incorrect, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will review it.
