Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD is 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 read any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about STERLING TRUCKING INC.

Is STERLING TRUCKING INC. licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than being inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does STERLING TRUCKING INC. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as 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 the carrier an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who move their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads No and the enterprise flag is 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. Check the household goods flag if you are moving a move, 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: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, compare 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 single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 106974 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating number given to US motor carriers in the United States.

Use it when you ask for an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Safety and compliance data is held 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 106974 and review it there.
