How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the coverage a carrier must carry to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, generally the 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 take any required but not on file line as a reason to request the certificate before you dispatch.

Does PISTONS 85 TRANSPORT 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. 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 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 is No and the enterprise flag reads No. This distinction matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does the company handle?

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

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

What does USDOT 3965714 mean?

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

Have it to hand when you ask for an insurance certificate, check 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 is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 3965714 and review it there.
