I have been working in the Merlin program since its inception and working in partnership with Avalon Risk Management for over 20 years. The Merlin program is available 24/7 and is very user friendly with multiple features. My customers are so happy that their bonds are on file within minutes. Very high level of customer service and support. Avalon and Avalon Canada have amazing teams that I am so happy to work with. I would highly recommend teaming up with them as a provider of US Bonds and Canadian Importer Bonds.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the scholarship provided by Avalon Risk Management, which allowed me to pursue and successfully earn my Certified Transportation Broker certification through the TIA.
Your support has been invaluable in this achievement, and I am incredibly appreciative of the opportunity you all have given me to enhance my knowledge and expertise in the transportation industry. The certification will undoubtedly help me contribute even more effectively to our team at FreightPlus.
Thank you all so much for all your support helping me achieve this certification!
