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 applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can be required to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about BBI TRANSPORTATION INC

Is BBI TRANSPORTATION INC licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common & Contract Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than being inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier currently 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does BBI TRANSPORTATION INC carry insurance?

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

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

This carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Check the household goods flag if you are moving house, as it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and verify 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 293587 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number given 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. Use it when you request an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or file a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?

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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 293587 and check 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 wrong, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will look into it.
