Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD stands for 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, usually the 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 ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Owner-operator or a fleet?

How should I verify a carrier before booking?
