How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD stands for 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 filing. A carrier may be obliged to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about LOCAL MUSCLE LLC

Is LOCAL MUSCLE 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, 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does LOCAL MUSCLE 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 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 move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag shows No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

The carrier is registered as a Household Goods Carrier. The property carrier flag reads No, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag reads Yes. Check the household goods flag in particular 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 checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, check 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 2162841 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number 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, whereas the USDOT number stays constant. Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?

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. If safety history matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 2162841 and read it there.

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