How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means 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, typically 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.

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, which tells you 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 FRIENDLY RIDE INC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $5,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,500,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before a load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier an owner-operator or a fleet?

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

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

The carrier is registered as a Passenger Carrier.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and read 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 2361072 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number assigned to US motor carriers in the United States.

Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, verify authority, or make a freight claim.

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. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 2361072 and read it there.
