Source note: The bond summary uses the selected filing's effective date, October 29, 2026. Other financial-filing source rows show September 26, 2025. 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.

Key facts

Authority status Active Status of the broker's FMCSA operating authority: active, application pending, suspended, revoked, voluntarily suspended or withdrawn. source
Recent change Reinstated (last 30 days) New authority (a docket's first grant) or application in the last 14 days, or authority granted again on a docket that held it before; suspension or revocation in the last 30 days when FMCSA's authority row also shows the broker suspended or revoked (a logged suspension on a row that still reads Active is a source disagreement, noted on the profile, and is not counted here); reinstatement in the last 30 days. source
Authority age 3–10 years Time since FMCSA first granted this docket broker authority, whatever its status now; a suspension, revocation or reinstatement does not reset it. source
Broker bond ($75,000) Bond or trust fund on file Brokers must keep a $75,000 surety bond (BMC-84) or trust fund (BMC-85) on file with FMCSA. source
Bond type Surety bond (BMC-84) Surety bond (BMC-84) or trust fund (BMC-85). FMCSA's records can flag a bond on file without naming its type, so this field can hold fewer records than “Bond or trust fund on file”. source
Surety or trust provider Merchants National Bonding, Inc. source
Suspensions and revocations on record 5 FMCSA revocation and suspension actions on the broker authority: involuntary (bond, insurance or process-agent lapses) and voluntary, legacy and Motus history combined and counted once per date. Notices and discontinued proceedings are excluded; a count alone does not establish a coverage gap. source, unchanged since Oct 21, 2026
