Detroit Class A hauler bonds.
$275 flat. Five minutes.
The City of Detroit requires a $1,500 surety bond from a Class A hauler of extraordinary loads — the oversize and overweight loads that move over city streets. Ours is $275 flat — the $275 minimum, since 3% of $1,500 falls below it. Five-minute application, no credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A hauler of extraordinary loads bond is a street-protection guarantee. Moving oversize and overweight loads over the City of Detroit's streets can damage pavement, bridges, and traffic structures, so the City wants a financial backstop that you operate under your permit and repair what you break.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Detroit (the obligee). If your extraordinary load damages city streets or property, or you violate the terms of your hauling permit, the City can recover against the bond. Class A is the City's heavier hauler classification.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Haulers who route responsibly and repair any damage treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep your $1,500 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
