Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means 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 a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required-but-not-on-file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about CARSTENSEN & SONS TRUCKING, INC.

Is CARSTENSEN & SONS TRUCKING, 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 currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does CARSTENSEN & SONS TRUCKING, INC. 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 On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request 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 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 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 the company handle?

The carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads 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, because it requires separate federal authority and 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 285579 mean?

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

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

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

Safety and compliance data is held 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 285579 and read it there.
