TRANSPORT TFI 14 SEC

How to file on the bond or trust

For TRANSPORT TFI 14 SEC, the imported BMC-84 record includes Western Surety Company. A carrier should first establish whether that filing applies to its transportation dates.

Historical filing effective date: 2013-10-01. Recorded bond/trust reference: 58665914.

1. Establish the correct contracting company. Start with the company that actually tendered the load. Compare its identifiers with TRANSPORT TFI 14 SEC (USDOT 1305982), then assemble the load number, dates and payment terms.
2. Identify the bond or trust for the shipment period. Search FMCSA Licensing & Insurance using MC502893; find the BMC-84 filing and determine which surety was responsible when the transportation was arranged.
3. Document the amount owed. Gather the tender or rate confirmation, POD, bill of lading, itemized invoice and written collection history. Prepare a short list of each unpaid load, balance and delivery date.
4. File the documents through the provider’s approved channel. Ask the confirmed bond or trust provider where motor carriers submit unpaid-freight claims and whether it needs its own claim form. Follow that intake process and save the submission receipt.
5. Preserve the claim record and deadlines. Ask for a written acknowledgment or claim number. Note any response deadline, supply missing documents promptly, and keep copies of all replies and delivery receipts.
