To that end, our monthly PFA PROTECTS e-newsletter remains a key way for us to deliver relevant, useful and timely information and knowledge in all aspects of transportation insurance and surety services. It is designed to keep you up to date with important trends, developments and product offerings while introducing new friends to the PFA family. Professional Liability insurance – see below – is only one example of what we can provide to protect your business and ensure your success. And… some Shippers are requiring it of Freight Brokers.

On this Labor Day or any day, one of our overarching goals – as an integrated transportation insurance and surety services company – is to make sure that all Freight Brokers have the right surety instrument in place. We do that as the nation’s biggest provider of BMC-84s/BMC-85s. PFA offers many plans and payment options to cover the $75,000 FMCSA surety requirement with a BMC-85 Trust Agreement. Among your options is a cash plan, an external letter of credit and an internal letter of credit. For more details, visit: https://PFAprotects.com/surety/bmc-85/. We also have several payment options for BMC-84 surety bonds including quarterly payments!

Few people have as much an appreciation of the importance of good employee teams than PFA Transportation Insurance & Surety Services CEO Daniel Larson. He has a long legacy in the transportation industry, one in which his mother and our founder J. Penny Larson helped innovate through her newfound solutions to Freight Broker surety. That gave him plenty of exposure to the risks and rewards of being a Freight Broker, Freight Forwarder or Motor Carrier. He regularly brings those insights to PFA Protects: The Transportation Insurance & Surety Services Podcast. For a sampling of what you can get by downloading or subscribing to the PFA Protects Podcast, here you go. Our summer of pilot episodes has included the merits of Freight Broker Authority for Motor Carriers, customizing the right solution for your transportation insurance needs and the advantages of bundling your insurance with your surety requirements. Check it out today at PFA Protects Podcast – PFA Transportation Insurance & Surety Services.

Labor Day is a celebration of the American worker and best practices in recognizing the importance of the people who make the transportation sector grow and thrive. Yet sometimes our best intentions don’t work out and issues arise involving employees. To protect both employers and employees, it is important to have coverages such as Professional Liability Insurance, also known as Errors & Omissions, in place. For more on the lines of insurance we offer, visit our insurance page on our PFA website.

LIVING IN THE FAST LANE: OUR TRANSPORTATION FAMILY
|
|
|

Our transportation family is built upon the workers who make things happen on the ground floor. That includes those working in all facets of the logistics industry, from administration and accounting to marketing and promotion. Yet there are few people as important to the movement of goods and overland freight – and the advancement of our economy – than the nation’s truck drivers. There were over 947,000 drivers working in the transportation sector in the period leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic and that wasn’t enough to satisfy demand. So, more than ever, truck drivers are in demand to help all of us grow and thrive. This Labor Day weekend, let’s be thankful for those who log tens of thousands – and often hundreds of thousands of miles – on the nation’s highways and byways to pick up and deliver what we need, day-in, day-out. Happy Labor Day!
