How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means 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, typically 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 grounds to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about GAINCO INC

Is GAINCO 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 inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether any revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension shows up in the official snapshot.

Does GAINCO INC carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,000,000. Cargo insurance is recorded as Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before any load moves, because this page mirrors the federal filing, which is not always updated on the same day a policy is issued.

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 Yes and the enterprise flag is No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

The 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 is set to 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 can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: look up the USDOT number and read the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and confirm 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 2179277 mean?

USDOT 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 does not. Use it when you ask for an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores 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 matters for your load, open the official record for USDOT 2179277 and review it there.

Information on this page is drawn 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.
