BOC-3 / Processing Agent

BOC-3 / Processing Agent filing is a necessary component of a trucking company’s MC/DOT continued activation. Companies who have registered for annual BOC-3 / Processing Agents are required to continue paying for their registration annually.

Carriers that have paid for a permanent BOC-3 are only required to undergo BOC-3 filing again if there has been a change in company name, address, or ownership.

What Is a BOC-3 Filing?

A BOC-3 filing is a requirement for transportation companies to designate a process agent in every state to accept legal documents on their behalf. The Blanket of Coverage (BOC) is mandatory for Motor Carriers, Brokers & Freight Forwarders before their operating authority will be granted by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

Can I File My Own BOC 3?

Per FMCSA “Only a Process Agent, on behalf of the applicant (motor carrier), can file Form BOC-3 (Designation of Process Agents) with FMCSA. A Broker or Freight Forwarder applicant without CMV (commercial motor vehicles) can file Form BOC-3 on their own behalf.”
