BOND CLAIM: 3 STEPS
━━━━━━━━━━
A broker owes you $2,500 and stopped answering. Every broker must hold a $75,000 bond or trust (FMCSA).
The catch: that $75k is shared by ALL unpaid carriers. If 8 carriers are owed $200,000, each gets ~37¢ per dollar. Your $2,500 becomes ~$940.
📌 Summary:
— Look up the broker's USDOT on FMCSA SAFER/L&I to find the BMC-84 surety or BMC-85 trustee
— Send the rate con, BOL, POD, invoice and your call/email log by certified mail
— File fast: many sureties cap claims at 12 months from delivery
Has a broker ever owed you 60+ days — yes or no? 👇
