- Confirm the broker named in the transportation contract. Verify that your transportation agreement identifies ARKA EXPRESS INC; use MC627673 to distinguish it from similarly named companies. Note the shipment and invoice dates.
- Find the responsible surety or trustee. Search FMCSA Licensing & Insurance using MC627673; find the BMC-84 filing and determine which surety was responsible when the transportation was arranged.
- Put together the claim packet. Include the rate confirmation, freight invoice, bill of lading, signed delivery receipt or proof of delivery, any broker payment terms, and correspondence about the unpaid amount. Show the load number and invoice balance clearly.
- 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.
- Track the claim after filing. 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.
