BMC-84 FREIGHT BROKER BOND
A property or freight broker is one of several classes of companies licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). A “broker” is a transport intermediary that specializes in pairing a customer (“shipper”) that needs to move property or persons and a “carrier” that is able to move property or persons. As with all regulated activities, there are requirements for participating in the sector.
