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. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally the 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 take any required but not on file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about WILLIAM LOWE & SONS INC

Is WILLIAM LOWE & SONS INC licensed to operate?

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

Does WILLIAM LOWE & SONS INC 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 Not 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 haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag is No. It 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 shows No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Check the household goods flag 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: 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 common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1210313 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating identifier assigned to US 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 request an insurance certificate, check authority, or file 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. If safety history is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1210313 and check it there.
