Freight-Broker Financial Security
Review the distinction between BMC-84 surety bonds and BMC-85 trusts, financial-security notices and current FMCSA guidance for freight brokers.
What to understand
FMCSA’s broker and freight-forwarder rules address financial security and eligible trust providers. A BMC-84 surety bond and a BMC-85 trust are different arrangements; neither substitutes for truck liability or cargo insurance.
Your next step
Identify your authority, current filing and provider. Review any cancellation or security-shortfall notice promptly with the provider and confirm applicable FMCSA requirements.
