What the insurance lines mean. BI&PD is bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, generally a BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier may be obliged to hold a policy that is not yet on file, so treat any required but not on file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about OCEAN EXPRESS TRANSPORTATION AND EQUIPMENT LLC

Is OCEAN EXPRESS TRANSPORTATION AND EQUIPMENT LLC licensed to operate?

It currently holds the following federal authority status: Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than being inferred, which shows exactly which authorities the carrier holds and whether a 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 OCEAN EXPRESS TRANSPORTATION AND EQUIPMENT LLC carry insurance?

The record shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as 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 the day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration distinguishes private carriers, who haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads No and the enterprise flag is No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a spot quote.

What type of freight does this carrier handle?

This carrier 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 shows 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.

Phone: +1 360-268-2510

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 1988700 mean?

The USDOT number is the federal operating number 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. Use it when you request an insurance certificate, verify authority, or file a freight claim.

Where can I find the safety scores for this carrier?

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. If safety history is a deciding factor for your load, open the official record for USDOT 1988700 and check it there.

Information on this page is built 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.
