Reading the insurance rows. 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, usually a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can legally be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about ALEX ONATE

Is ALEX ONATE licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common Authority. That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether any revocation is in progress. The register is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does ALEX ONATE carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as 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 on the same day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier 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 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 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. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving house, 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 read 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1566200 mean?

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

Are safety scores available 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. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 1566200 and check it there.
