What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana regulates the intrastate transportation of household goods through the Louisiana Public Service Commission. Before moving household goods inside the state, a carrier must hold a common carrier certificate and file a $5,000 surety bond with the Commission.
The bond is one piece of the Commission's movers framework — which also requires cargo and workers' compensation insurance and a permanent Louisiana establishment. The surety bond runs to the Commission for the benefit of the public, standing behind the carrier's compliance with the household goods rules.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay on file as long as you hold the certificate; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your authority never lapses.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
