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 applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to carry 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.

Is RAHN'S OIL & PROPANE INC licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier currently 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 is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does RAHN'S OIL & PROPANE INC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,000,000. 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 reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier 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. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag reads No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are relocating, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and verify the authority status, compare 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 most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1453840 mean?

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

Have it to hand when you request an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

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. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 1453840 and review it there.
