How to file on the bond or trust

The supplied CONTRANS VRAC INC filing history identifies Western Surety Company under BMC-84. Confirm which financial-responsibility provider handled the period of the unpaid load.

Historical filing effective date: 2019-09-23. Recorded bond/trust reference: 30053487.

1. Confirm the broker named in the transportation contract. Check the rate confirmation and bill of lading against CONTRANS VRAC INC (USDOT 526958). Keep MC263107 with the load paperwork so the surety or trustee can match the claim to the right broker.
2. Find the responsible surety or trustee. A BMC-84 is a surety bond. In FMCSA Licensing & Insurance, search by USDOT or docket number, open the financial-responsibility filings, and identify the surety responsible for the load period.
3. Put together the claim packet. Prepare copies of the rate confirmation, signed POD, bill of lading, invoice and payment correspondence. Identify the invoice number, agreed rate, due date, and any disputed deduction.
4. Submit the claim to the verified claims department. Contact the verified surety or trustee claims department and ask for its freight-broker claim form, submission method and required attachments. Send the packet by that stated method, then retain proof it was delivered.
5. Get written confirmation and follow up. 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.
