Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a BMC-84 bond cost? Pricing depends on your credit profile, business experience, and financials. A bond specialist will review your application and 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 to keep their broker authority active. 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.
