What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD means 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, usually the 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 read any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.
