Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, typically the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to carry 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 FAMILY TOWING SERVICE LLC

Is FAMILY TOWING SERVICE LLC licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted 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 shows up in the official snapshot.

Does FAMILY TOWING SERVICE LLC carry insurance?

The filing 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 Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before any load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Owner-operator or a fleet?

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

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag reads No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving house, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

Phone: +1 313-350-8201

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and verify the authority status, compare 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 3542994 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to 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 does not. Have it to hand when you request an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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 3542994 and check 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 review it.
