How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier may be obliged to hold 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.

Is THOMAS E. KELLER TRUCKING, INC. licensed to operate?

Request the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page reflects 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 haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag reads No. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 199521 mean?

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