How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, typically the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required-but-not-on-file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about PAULINS AUTO CARE

Is PAULINS AUTO CARE licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than being inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether any 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 PAULINS AUTO CARE 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 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.

Is this an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who transport their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is Yes and the enterprise flag is No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off 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 reads No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are relocating, because it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

Phone: +1 207-985-9890

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, 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 frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 3924682 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number assigned to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number does not. Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 3924682 and check it there.

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