Insurance filings on this page run through Jul 15, 2025. A bond or cancellation filed since then may not show here, so confirm with FMCSA or the surety before you book.

Contact & Domain Validation
Impersonators copy a real broker's name and MC number onto a fake rate confirmation. Check where a rate con came from against the email domain FMCSA has on record, and the phone and address under Company Details.
- Official email domain
- @kennethclark.com
- A rate confirmation from a free mailbox — Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook — is not how a licensed broker sends paperwork. Treat it as an impersonation attempt.
- Watch for lookalike domains: an extra letter, a hyphen, or
.coin place of.com. - Call back on the phone number in FMCSA's record (see Company Details) — never the one printed on the rate confirmation itself.

Where this comes from
Every figure on this page is drawn from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's public Licensing & Insurance database and motor carrier census: bond filings, cancellation notices, authority status, process agents, and the registered address and email domain for MC #130977 / USDOT #2211792. FMCSA records can lag real-world changes, so confirm anything time-critical directly with FMCSA or the surety before you dispatch.
FAQ'sFrequently Asked Questions
Yes. KENNETH CLARK COMPANY INC maintains an active BMC-84 with AMERICAN ALTERNATIVE INSURANCE CORPORATION, with no pending cancellation filed with FMCSA.
Yes. FMCSA lists MC 130977 (KENNETH CLARK COMPANY INC) with active broker operating authority.
KENNETH CLARK COMPANY INC's BMC-84 is filed with AMERICAN ALTERNATIVE INSURANCE CORPORATION under policy 2013030010, effective Oct 1, 2013.
KENNETH CLARK COMPANY INC's FMCSA registration lists an address at @kennethclark.com. A rate confirmation arriving from a free consumer mailbox such as Gmail or Yahoo does not match this registration and should be treated as a possible impersonation attempt.
It's the $75,000 the federal government makes every licensed broker put up before they can arrange your freight, either a BMC-84 surety bond or a BMC-85 trust fund. If the broker stiffs you, that's the money you file a claim against. No bond on file, no operating authority.
A BMC-84 is a surety bond: an insurance company promises to pay carriers if the broker doesn't. A BMC-85 is a trust fund: the broker parks actual cash or securities with a financial institution. Both satisfy the $75,000 requirement. In practice a BMC-84 claim tends to move faster because there's a surety underwriting it.
It means the surety has told FMCSA it's walking away on a specific date. If the broker doesn't replace the filing by then, FMCSA revokes their broker authority. Any load you haul after that date has no bond behind it. If you see a cancellation date on a broker's page, get paid before it lands, or don't take the load.
Check the sender's email domain against the domain on the broker's FMCSA registration, which is listed on every profile page here. Rate cons from Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook addresses are not how licensed brokers do business. Drop the PDF into the sandbox on any broker page and Bubba will run that comparison for you, in your browser, without uploading the file anywhere.
No. An active bond and clean authority mean the broker meets the federal minimum, not that they're good for the money on time. Use this to rule out the obvious problems, then use your own credit terms and quick-pay judgment on the rest.
