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. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, typically the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can legally 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.

Frequently asked questions about BUDD VAN LINES, INC.

Is BUDD VAN LINES, INC. licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common & Contract Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does BUDD VAN LINES, INC. 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 On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Always ask for the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Is this an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration separates private carriers, who transport 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 one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

The carrier is registered as a Trucking & Household Goods Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag shows Yes. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving house, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and confirm 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 185771 mean?

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

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

Safety and compliance data appears 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 matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 185771 and read it there.

Information on this page is drawn 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.
