No active broker surety bond or trust fund on file.
BMC-84 is a surety bond; BMC-85 is a trust-fund agreement. Required for property brokers / freight forwarders — not motor-carrier BIPD liability insurance.
Based on FMCSA authority grant of 1983-05-04 (2,000+ days). Published gates only — not a guarantee they will accept. Confirm with the broker.
