What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD stands for 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, usually a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to carry 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.

That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than being inferred, which tells you 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 SPECIAL MATERIALS COMPANY carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $5,000,000, 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 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 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. It matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

How should I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up 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. Mismatches between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 1472900 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating identifier assigned to motor carriers in the United States. It is the most reliable identifier a carrier has, because company names get traded, rebranded and duplicated, whereas the USDOT number does not. Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

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. If safety history is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1472900 and check it there.
