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. Cargo cover filed: $5,000.

Questions about COVAN INTERNATIONAL INC

Is COVAN INTERNATIONAL INC a broker or a carrier?

COVAN INTERNATIONAL INC is a freight forwarder 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 COVAN INTERNATIONAL INC's operating authority allow?

FF1147: Freight forwarder (may assemble and consolidate shipments and arrange their transportation, taking responsibility for them).

Which information about COVAN INTERNATIONAL INC is old or missing?

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 COVAN INTERNATIONAL INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2972281. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (334) 983-6500, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches FF1147, and ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.

Other companies using (334) 983-6500

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.
