How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD is 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, generally the 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 JOSEPH P. RILEY AND SONS MOVING COMPANY, INC

Is JOSEPH P. RILEY AND SONS MOVING COMPANY, INC licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common & Contract Authority. That wording is taken 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 register is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does JOSEPH P. RILEY AND SONS MOVING COMPANY, INC carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before any load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who transport their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag shows No and the enterprise flag reads 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 Trucking & Household Goods Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag reads Yes. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are moving house, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How can 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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 85429 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number given to US 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. If safety history matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 85429 and review 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 wrong, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will look into it.
