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

Frequently asked questions about RL EXPRESS, INC.

Is RL EXPRESS, INC. licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common & Contract Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does RL EXPRESS, INC. carry insurance?

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

Owner-operator or a fleet?

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

What type of freight does the company handle?

The 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 reads No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving a move, because it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

Phone: +1 800-543-5589

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 996870 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number stays constant. Have it to hand when you request an insurance certificate, verify authority, or make a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?

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. If safety history is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 996870 and check it there.
