Bond & insurance on file

Liability (BI&PD) pays for injury and damage to other people and property; it does not cover the freight. Cargo insurance covers the freight. FMCSA only requires cargo filings from household goods carriers and freight forwarders, so most carriers file none: ask for a cargo certificate that fits your load. No cargo cover filed with FMCSA.

Questions about C & S TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC

Is C & S TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC a broker or a carrier?

C & S TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC is a freight broker with no active authority to haul freight itself. It may arrange loads with authorized carriers, but should not be dispatching its own trucks under this docket. Brokers must keep $75,000 of financial security (a BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust fund) on file with FMCSA.

What does C & S TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC's operating authority allow?

MC178213: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).

Which information about C & S TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC is old or missing?

Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe.

What should I verify before booking C & S TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2212917. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (812) 882-6448, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC178213, and ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.

Other companies using (812) 882-6448

A shared number is common for related companies, dispatch services and family businesses. It is not proof of fraud, but it is worth knowing which company you are dealing with.
