FMCSA to consider small brokers’ security bond exemption request

Apr 10, 2020 at 08:40 AM CST

Federal regulators have asked for public comment on a petition for a five-year exemption for small-business truck brokers from a $75,000 security bond requirement. The petition, filed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in September by the Small Business in Transportation Coalition (SBTC), is a resubmission of a 2013 bond exemption request by the Association of Independent Property Brokers and Agents, which merged with SBTC in 2016. The FMCSA denied the request in 2015.
