BOC-3 List of Process Agents

  Agents of Due-Process

Call us at  (765) 742-2610

• Requirements  The FMCSA requires all transportation companies (Motor Carriers, Freight-Forwarders and Brokers) to have a BOC-3 List of Process Agents on file with the FMCSA.  For every state a Motor Carrier travels into, the FMCSA requires a Process Agent to represent that Motor Carrier within that state.  Anybody applying for a Motor Carrier Number / Motor Carrier Permit or for ICC Authority / DOT Authority or Trucking Authority / MC Number or ICC Number / ICC Carrier or Truck Authority / Operating Authority or Interstat Authority / Federal Highway Authority (they all mean the same thing) will not be granted until the Carrier has a list of Process Agents on file with the FMCSA.

• What is a Process Agent?  A Process Agent, or an Agent of Due-Process is a representative in another state upon whom court papers may be served (sent to) in a proceeding brought against a Motor Carrier, Broker or Freight Forwarder in that state.  The Process Agent will accept the legal papers and forward them to you (the Carrier, Broker or Freight Forwarder) in your home state in a timely manner, before a judgement can be levied against you.

Contact us to set you up with the BOC-3 List of Process Agents and submit them to the FMCSA in Washington.
