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. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can 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 EASTERN ICE CO INC

Is EASTERN ICE CO INC licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common & Contract Authority. That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether any 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 EASTERN ICE CO INC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance reads 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 the 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 shows No and the enterprise flag is No. That 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 shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving a move, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 251833 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating identifier assigned to US motor carriers in the United States.

Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, verify authority, or make a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?
