What Is a BMC-84 Bond?
The BMC-84 is a surety bond required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for anyone operating as a freight broker. It guarantees that brokers meet their financial obligations to motor carriers and shippers, and without it, the FMCSA will not issue or maintain your broker authority. Prestige Bond Group works with multiple surety markets to help freight brokers find coverage that fits their business and credit profile.

Frequently Asked Questions How much does a BMC-84 bond cost? Pricing depends on your credit profile, business experience, and financials. A specialist will provide a personalized quote. How long does it take to get bonded? With a complete application and payment received, your bond can often be issued the same day. PDF copies are sent by email right away, with hard copies by mail where applicable. What if I have credit challenges? Less than perfect credit will not necessarily stop you from getting bonded, though it may affect your rate. We work with multiple sureties to find the best option for your situation. Is the BMC-84 bond required by law? Yes. The FMCSA requires all licensed freight brokers to maintain a $75,000 BMC-84 bond or trust fund. What happens if my bond lapses? The FMCSA can suspend your broker authority if your bond is not active. Contact us and we will help you get it renewed.
