What is this bond?

A Georgia Motor Carriers C.O.D. (Collect on Delivery) Bond is a type of commercial surety bond that guarantees a motor carrier will lawfully handle and remit all funds collected on behalf of a shipper. It serves as a financial guarantee that payments collected upon the delivery of goods are properly transferred to the rightful party.

Who needs it?

Freight companies and motor carriers operating in Georgia who offer Collect on Delivery services typically need this bond. Because requirements vary, transportation businesses should verify their specific licensing and bonding obligations with the appropriate regulatory agency before accepting C.O.D. shipments.

Why is it required?

State authorities and obligees require this bond to protect shippers from financial loss if a motor carrier fails to remit collected C.O.D. payments. It provides a secure mechanism for restitution if a carrier mismanages funds, commits fraud, or breaches their fiduciary duties during the transport and delivery process.
