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. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, typically the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can be required to hold 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.

Frequently asked questions about AMERICAN WASTE SYSTEMS INC

Is AMERICAN WASTE SYSTEMS INC licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, which tells you 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 shows up in the official snapshot.

Does AMERICAN WASTE SYSTEMS INC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before a 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 haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is No and the enterprise flag shows 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?

The carrier 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 shows No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving a move, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

Phone: +1 269-641-7502

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 488486 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating identifier assigned to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number does not. Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

Are safety scores available 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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 488486 and read it there.

Information on this page is drawn 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.
