Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can legally be required to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required but not on file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about JOHNSON-HOUSTON TRANSPORTATION CO.

Is JOHNSON-HOUSTON TRANSPORTATION CO. licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is 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 register is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does JOHNSON-HOUSTON TRANSPORTATION CO. carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before any load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration separates private carriers, who transport their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is No and the enterprise flag shows No. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

It 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 moving a move, because it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and verify 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 242589 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating identifier assigned to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number stays constant. Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?

Safety and compliance data appears in the FMCSA's carrier snapshot rather than on this page, and it is only available for carriers that have been inspected. If safety history is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 242589 and review it there.
