Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, typically 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 take any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and read the authority status, check 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.
