Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier may be obliged to hold 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.

Frequently asked questions about SMITH OIL COMPANY INC

Is SMITH OIL COMPANY INC licensed to operate?

That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does SMITH OIL COMPANY INC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,000,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Always ask for the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page reflects 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 is No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag reads No. Check the household goods flag if you are moving a move, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up 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 1188470 mean?

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

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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 1188470 and check it there.
