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, typically the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility record. A carrier may be obliged to maintain 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 PAUL A SKAER SR

Is PAUL A SKAER SR licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common Authority. That wording is taken from the registration record rather than inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether any revocation is in progress. The register is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension will appear in the official snapshot.

Does PAUL A SKAER SR carry insurance?

The filing lists BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. 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 reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

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 shows No. This distinction 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 Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag is set to Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows 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 needs its own federal authority and carries a different insurance profile.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: look up the USDOT number and verify the authority status, check 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. Gaps between a broker's paperwork and the federal record are the most common source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 2888025 mean?

USDOT is the federal operating identifier assigned to 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. Quote it when you ask for an insurance certificate, check authority, or make a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

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 2888025 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.
