Surety Bonds for Alabama Transportation / Freight Brokers
The Alabama Public Service Commission regulates Transportation and Freight Brokers in the state and sets the rates that Brokers can charge their clients.
A Transportation Broker is someone who sells or offers to sell the transport of property between two locations and pays shippers to move the freight.
Brokers must comply with the Code of Alabama, the Alabama Motor Carrier Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Transportation Brokers have a duty to protect the interest of the shipper, and a part of the registration process includes obtaining a $10,000 surety bond. The bond guarantees that the Broker will faithfully perform, fulfill, and carry out all contracts, agreements and arrangements. In lieu of a bond, a Broker may provide a certificate of insurance, proof of qualifications as a self-insurer, or another type of security.
What Will This Bond Cost?
