Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier can legally be required to hold a policy that is not yet on file, so take any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

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

Does RICKY'S TOWING carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Always ask for the actual certificate before a 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 haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag is 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 freight does the company handle?

This carrier 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 moving house, as 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, 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1700480 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number assigned 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, but the USDOT number stays constant. Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

Safety and compliance data is published through 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 1700480 and read it there.
