How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means 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, typically a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required but not on file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does PENN TANK LINES, INC. carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $5,000,000, against a federal minimum of $5,000,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as Not on file, and the surety bond is On file. Ask for the certificate itself before a load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

Owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who haul 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 spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads 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 relocating, because it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

How should 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 264473 mean?

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