LA household goods carrier bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Louisiana requires every intrastate household goods mover to file a $5,000 bond with the Public Service Commission before moving anyone. At 3% the math lands below our floor, so ours is $275 flat — the minimum premium — with no credit check.

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.
