What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD is 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 record. A carrier can be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about PAUL PELSTER

Is PAUL PELSTER licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than being inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does PAUL PELSTER carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as Not 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 move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is No and the enterprise flag shows No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What 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 is set to No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving house, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up 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 1417971 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating identifier assigned to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number does not. Have it to hand when you request an insurance certificate, check authority, or file a freight claim.

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

Safety and compliance data is published through the FMCSA's carrier snapshot rather than on this page, and it is only available for carriers that have been inspected. If safety history matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1417971 and check it there.

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