How to file on the bond or trust

- Match the unpaid load to the legal brokerage. Verify that your transportation agreement identifies SHIP SMITH LLC; use MC1437135 to distinguish it from similarly named companies. Note the shipment and invoice dates.
- Locate the appropriate financial-responsibility filing. Because the historical record uses BMC-84, look for the broker surety-bond filing in FMCSA Licensing & Insurance. Compare filing dates before selecting the surety to contact.
- 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.
- Obtain the required claim form or intake procedure. Obtain the claims unit’s current mailing, email or portal instructions directly from the responsible provider. Complete any required form, attach the supporting loads, and document when the claim was transmitted.
- 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.
