Source note: The bond summary uses the selected filing's effective date, September 7, 2026. Other financial-filing source rows show January 27, 2026, September 22, 2026. 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 Merchants Bonding Company (Mutual); other financial-filing rows name Transport Financial Services, LLC. 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.
