What it is and who needs it.
What the hauling bond actually covers
The New York State Department of Transportation issues special permits to move oversize or overweight equipment over state highways, and can condition the permit on a surety bond. The bond is a highway-damage guarantee — it stands behind your obligation to repair any damage your move causes to roadways, bridges, or structures.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New York / NYSDOT (the obligee). If an oversize or overweight move damages a highway or structure and you don't repair it, the state can recover its costs against the bond.
We issue the amount NYSDOT set; premiums start from $100. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 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.
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
File with NYSDOT. Submit the executed bond with your oversize/overweight hauling permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
