What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Illinois Commerce Commission’s Transportation Division regulates motor carriers of property under the Illinois Commercial Transportation Law (625 ILCS 5, Chapter 18c). When carriers interchange equipment — one carrier using another’s trucks or trailers to complete regulated transportation — the Commission can require a bond.
The bond is conditioned on the carrier faithfully performing the contracts and arrangements it makes for supplying transportation of property subject to the law. It protects the public and counterparties relying on that regulated transportation — it is not insurance for the carrier.
The amount is a fixed $10,000, so there’s no quote process: the premium is $100, the same for every carrier and every term. The application collects no credit information, and we track it so your interchange authority never lapses over a missed renewal.
