Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required but not on file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier currently 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does CHILDS EXPRESS, INC. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Always ask for the actual certificate before a load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same 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 No and the enterprise flag shows No. This distinction 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 is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag reads No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are relocating, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and verify the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and check that the phone number you are given matches the one published on the operator's own listing.
