What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, usually 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 read any required-but-not-on-file line as grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about GARDEN SPOT EQUIPMENT AUCTION, INC.

Is GARDEN SPOT EQUIPMENT AUCTION, INC. licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows 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 shows up in the official snapshot.

Does GARDEN SPOT EQUIPMENT AUCTION, INC. carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,000,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before any load moves, because this page mirrors 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 shows No and the enterprise flag shows No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

The carrier is registered as a Trucking & Passenger Company. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to Yes and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are relocating, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 515658 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number given to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most dependable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number does not. Use it when you ask for an insurance certificate, verify authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 515658 and check it there.

Information on this page is compiled from the official federal carrier record and from the operator's published business listing. If you are the carrier and something here is inaccurate, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will review it.
