How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD is 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 be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required-but-not-on-file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Is J. P. ROUTHIER & SONS, INC. licensed to operate?

The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does J. P. ROUTHIER & SONS, INC. carry insurance?

The record shows 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 On file. Ask for the certificate itself before a load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

Is this an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is No and the enterprise flag reads No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

This carrier 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 is set to No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving a move, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and read the authority status, check 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 213387 mean?

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

Quote it when you request an insurance certificate, verify authority, or file a freight claim.

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 213387 and review it there.
