Sunrise Logistics, Inc. Achieves $100,000 TIA Bond
Ephrata, PA — Sunrise Logistics, Inc. is proud to announce its achievement of the $100,000 Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) Bond, reflecting our commitment to financial responsibility and reliability as a trusted third-party logistics (3PL) broker. This bond demonstrates our dedication to high industry standards and strengthens the trust we have built with our customers and carriers. Sunrise Logistics joins an elite 1% of brokerages in the industry that hold a bond above the standard $75,000, signaling our commitment to providing superior service and financial security. Kevin Bender, a key leader at Sunrise Logistics, explains the significance of this accomplishment:
“The intent of a surety bond is to give our customers and our carriers the confidence and security that they are working with a reputable, established brokerage that adheres to federal regulations and rules. For Sunrise to go above the $75,000 standard represents to the carrier and shipper community that we stand behind our reputation as a broker, beyond just the industry minimum.”
TIA’s Bond program, developed in partnership with Avalon Risk Management, offers bonds with $100,000 and $250,000 limits exclusively to TIA Members. Kevin adds,
“Our achievement of the $100,000 bond puts us in a higher tier, above the minimum standard, demonstrating our commitment to serving as a reliable and trusted 3PL broker.”
This elevated bond tier helps Sunrise Logistics stand out by signaling to carriers and shippers alike that we have taken extra steps to provide superior service and protection.
Since 2013, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has required freight brokers to hold a minimum $75,000 surety bond, up from the previous $10,000 requirement. By achieving the $100,000 TIA Bond, Sunrise Logistics reaffirms its commitment to high standards and financial stability, offering added confidence to those who rely on our services.
Through our partnership with TIA and by holding the $100,000 TIA Bond, Sunrise Logistics continues to demonstrate excellence in the transportation industry, building strong relationships with shippers and carriers while ensuring compliance with FMCSA MAP-21 federal regulations.
