Broker Authority Watch

Updated

Arcbest II, Inc

Source note: FMCSA's authority row says Active, while its latest logged history action is “Suspended: no process agent (BOC-3) on file” on August 20, 2026. These source statements disagree; the history does not resolve current authority. Check the official records.

Source note: The bond summary uses the selected filing's effective date, August 12, 2026. Other financial-filing source rows show February 17, 2017. These may be different filings or disagreements between files; the records do not establish why the dates differ. The timeline preserves those rows separately, not as one consistent policy date or proof of a coverage gap.

Source note: The selected bond filing names Western Surety Company; other financial-filing rows name Western Surety Co.. The files do not explain these provider differences. A shared effective date does not establish one consistent policy or insurer; each source row is retained separately.

As of Oct 21, 2026, Arcbest II, Inc in Fort Smith, Arkansas has broker authority status “Active”, with an unresolved disagreement between the authority row and its latest logged stop, with 1 suspension or revocation on record.
