The FMCSA's new rules, effective January 16, 2026, significantly tighten financial responsibility for freight brokers by requiring liquid assets (cash, Treasury securities, FDIC-insured letters of credit) for BMC-85 trust funds, closing loopholes for non-liquid assets like real estate or loans. Key changes include immediate suspension if security drops below $75,000 and isn't replenished within seven days, mandatory notification by sureties/trustees of financial failure, and eligibility restrictions for trust providers. Additionally, proposed transparency rules mandate brokers to provide shipment records (including all charges/payments) within 48 hours of request, aiming to increase visibility and fairness in transactions. Key Changes in Financial Responsibility (Effective Jan 16, 2026) Asset Liquidity: BMC-85 trust funds must now hold only readily available, liquid assets, eliminating non-liquid assets like real estate or personal loans. Immediate Suspension: If a broker's security falls below the $75,000 threshold, FMCSA will suspend their authority within seven business days unless replenished. Trustee Duties: Financial institutions must notify FMCSA of broker insolvency or financial failure, triggering cancellation procedures. New Registration System: The Motus system is being used for filings, with compliance tied to its availability. Provider Eligibility: Loan and finance companies are no longer eligible to serve as BMC-85 trustees. Proposed Transparency Rules (Expected Soon) Detailed Records: Brokers must provide shipment records, detailing all charges, payments, and claims (e.g., for damage/delay). Proactive Sharing: The duty shifts to brokers to provide records to parties (shippers/carriers) upon request, not just when asked. Timely Provision: Records must be provided within 48 hours of a request to resolve disputes quickly. Why It Matters Greater Carrier Protection: Aims to prevent brokers from failing with worthless financial backing, protecting carriers from non-payment. Fairer Transactions: Transparency rules give carriers better visibility into broker margins, enabling fairer negotiations. Cleaner Industry: Helps purge unscrupulous brokers

I don’t like the way the law is written, but 75k is way too low in my opinion for any brokerage. They definitely shouldn’t take out the bond companies availability.
