Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD stands for bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage required to operate in the United States. The cargo policy covers the goods in transit, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can be required to carry a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about BURNS & FAMILY ENTERPRISES LLC

Is BURNS & FAMILY ENTERPRISES LLC licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than inferred, which 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 is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does BURNS & FAMILY ENTERPRISES LLC carry insurance?

The filing lists 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. Always ask for 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.

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 reads Yes and the enterprise flag reads No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

This carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving a move, as it requires separate federal authority and a different insurance profile.

Phone: +1 215-324-6377

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 3159129 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number given to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, but the USDOT number does not. Have it to hand when you request 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 3159129 and check it there.

Information on this page is built 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.
