COFC Logistics credit bonds.
2% of the bond amount.

An intermodal marketing company, third-party logistics provider, broker, freight forwarder, or trucking company that wants COFC Logistics, LLC to bill transportation service, container-use, and related charges on credit — rather than collecting payment up front — backs that credit line with a surety bond. It is COFC's own credit-department condition, set at the Holland, Ohio company's discretion, not an Ohio statute: the bond guarantees payment of amounts due within 30 days of the invoice date, with no forfeiture provision beyond the money actually owed. Premiums cost 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, after a soft credit pull that never affects your score.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the COFC Logistics credit bond actually guarantees

This bond is not a government license bond — it is a private credit-security condition COFC Logistics, LLC, an intermodal container logistics company headquartered in Holland, Ohio, sets for shipping intermediaries that want transportation and container-use charges billed on credit instead of paid before service. It applies to intermodal marketing companies, third-party logistics providers, brokers, freight forwarders, and trucking companies — not to direct beneficial cargo owners.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and COFC Logistics, LLC (the obligee). COFC describes it as an indemnity bond guaranteeing only the money actually due — transportation service charges, container-use charges, and related fees — payable within 30 days of the invoice date, with no separate forfeiture provision. If an approved intermediary does not pay on time, COFC can claim against the bond for the unpaid amount, and the intermediary then reimburses the surety.

There is no statutory or published bond-amount schedule — COFC sets the penalty amount at its own discretion, based on the credit volume it is willing to extend to your account. COFC's surety-application process asks for a personal financial statement on bonds above $20,000, and requires the surety to carry at least an AM Best A-Excellent rating. Enter the figure COFC's credit department specified for your account; your premium is priced from a $100 minimum after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

COFC Logistics, LLC Credit Department — private contractual requirement, not an Ohio statuteThis bond is a condition COFC Logistics, LLC sets under its own intermediary credit-application process, not an Ohio statute or administrative rule. COFC's published bond requirements describe an indemnity bond guaranteeing payment of transportation service charges, container-use charges, and related fees within 30 days of the invoice date, with the penalty amount set at COFC's discretion and no separate forfeiture provision. Bond documents and cancellations are directed to COFC's credit department at its Holland, Ohio office; the surety must carry an AM Best rating of A-Excellent or better. Confirm the exact bond amount your account requires directly with COFC before you apply.
