Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required 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 can 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 request the certificate before you dispatch.

It currently holds the following federal authority status: 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 registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does INDEPENDENCE INC carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $1,500,000, against a federal minimum of $1,500,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request 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.

Owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads No and the enterprise flag shows No. That 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 Passenger Carrier. The property carrier flag reads No, the passenger carrier flag shows Yes and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Check the household goods flag if you are moving house, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and read the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and confirm 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 most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1548559 mean?

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