Broker Surety Bond FMCSA BMC-84/85

Brokers must keep a $75,000 surety bond or trust fund on file with FMCSA. If it lapses, FMCSA revokes the broker’s authority, so an active bond is the key thing a carrier should verify before hauling for a broker.

This looks like a commercial registered-agent / virtual office address. Sharing such an address is legal and common, many legitimate carriers use a registered agent for mail, insurance and compliance. It is not by itself a sign of any problem.
