- Call back on the number on file, (832) 661-1729, not a number from an email or load board.

- Ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85).
Bond & insurance on file
Liability (BI&PD) pays for injury and damage to other people and property; it does not cover the freight. Cargo insurance covers the freight. FMCSA only requires cargo filings from household goods carriers and freight forwarders, so most carriers file none: ask for a cargo certificate that fits your load. No cargo cover filed with FMCSA.
