HANOVER INSURANCE CO.
BMC-34 · RHE J150799
Effective Oct 18, 2022

FMCSA L&I filing evidence — not a shipper certificate of insurance (COI). Cargo (BMC-34) is primarily an HHG / household-goods requirement; general freight carriers often have none.

Broker bond / trust (BMC-84/85)

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.

Broker setup by MC age

Based on FMCSA authority grant of 1998-05-11 (2,000+ days). Published gates only — not a guarantee they will accept. Confirm with the broker.
