Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, typically the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to hold 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 ANTHRACITE AUTO EXCHANGE INC

Is ANTHRACITE AUTO EXCHANGE INC 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 holds and whether a 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 ANTHRACITE AUTO EXCHANGE INC carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Request the actual certificate before a load moves, because this page mirrors 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 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 one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

The carrier is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag reads Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag shows No. Look at the household goods flag specifically if you are relocating, because it needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and verify 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. Discrepancies between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1887172 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number given to US motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, since company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number stays constant. Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

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 1887172 and read 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 check it.
