How to read the insurance lines. 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, typically 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 treat any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about SHOTGUNN TRUCKING LLC

Is SHOTGUNN TRUCKING LLC licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than inferred, which tells you 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 will appear in the official snapshot.

Does SHOTGUNN TRUCKING LLC carry insurance?

The filing lists 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. Ask for the certificate itself 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 distinguishes private carriers, who transport their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads No and the enterprise flag shows No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag reads No and the household goods carrier flag is set to No. Check the household goods flag in particular if you are moving house, because it requires separate federal authority and 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 single most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 3778003 mean?

USDOT 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. Quote it when you request an insurance certificate, confirm authority, or make a freight claim.

Are safety scores available for this carrier?

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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 3778003 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 incorrect, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will look into it.
