How to read the insurance lines. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance covers the freight itself, and the surety bond, generally the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier can legally be required to hold 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.

Frequently asked questions about FIRSTCLASS TOWING&RECOVERY LLC

Is FIRSTCLASS TOWING&RECOVERY LLC licensed to operate?

Its federal authority status is Active – Common Authority. That wording is drawn from the registration record rather than inferred, so it shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The registration is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does FIRSTCLASS TOWING&RECOVERY LLC carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $1,000,000, against a federal minimum of $1,000,000. Cargo insurance reads Not on file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before any load moves, because this page reflects 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 separates private carriers, who transport 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 one-off spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

It is registered as a Freight Carrier. The property carrier flag shows Yes, the passenger carrier flag shows No and the household goods carrier flag reads 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.

Phone: +1 757-354-0868

How do I verify a carrier before booking?

Three checks, in order: check the USDOT number and read the authority status, compare 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 most frequent source of freight fraud.

What does USDOT 4279044 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, but the USDOT number does not. Use it when you request an insurance certificate, check authority, or file a freight claim.

Are the safety scores for this carrier available?

Safety and compliance data appears in the FMCSA's carrier snapshot rather than on this page, and it is only available for carriers that have been inspected. Where safety history is decisive, open the official record for USDOT 4279044 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 wrong, or you are a shipper who has spotted an error, please tell us and we will look into it.
