What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD is 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 the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. 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 grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about NICHOLS ENTERPRISES INC

Is NICHOLS ENTERPRISES INC licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does NICHOLS ENTERPRISES INC carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $5,000,000, against a federal minimum of $5,000,000. 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 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 is No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag reads No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are relocating, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

Phone: +1 508-248-9797

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and read 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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 802773 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number does not. Use it 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 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 matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 802773 and review 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 inaccurate, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will look into it.
