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 COTONOU-DIRECT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGLLC
Is COTONOU-DIRECT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGLLC a broker or a carrier?
COTONOU-DIRECT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGLLC 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 COTONOU-DIRECT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGLLC's operating authority allow?
MC1548402: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).
Which information about COTONOU-DIRECT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGLLC 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. The MCS-150 was last updated May 10, 2023, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking COTONOU-DIRECT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGLLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4074081. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (301) 909-0639, not a number from an email or load board message.
