How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, usually a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can be required to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required-but-not-on-file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does ROBERT SHELTON carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is No and the enterprise flag is No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

How do 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.

What does USDOT 2930437 mean?
