What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally 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 take any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about MFA INCORPORATED

Is MFA INCORPORATED 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, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether any revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does MFA INCORPORATED carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $5,000,000, against a federal minimum of $5,000,000. 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 mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

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 is No. It 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 shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving house, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and read 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 3686 mean?

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

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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 3686 and check it there.

Information on this page is compiled from the official federal carrier record and from the operator's published business listing. If you are the carrier and something here is incorrect, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will check it.
