BOC-3
Blanket of
Coverage Filing
The BOC-3, formally known as the "Designation of Process Agents" form, is a mandatory FMCSA requirement for all motor carriers, freight brokers, and freight forwarders operating in interstate commerce. Without it, your operating authority cannot be granted or maintained.
At Truckssistance, we make BOC-3 filing fast, simple, and fully compliant — so you can focus on running your business instead of navigating federal paperwork.
Designation of Process Agents — why it matters
The BOC-3 designates a process agent in each U.S. state where your company operates. A process agent is an individual or company authorized to receive legal documents on your behalf in case of a lawsuit or legal proceeding.
Filed directly with the FMCSA — required before operating authority is granted
Covers all 50 U.S. states — one blanket filing covers your entire operation
Must be on file at all times — lapsing your BOC-3 can result in authority revocation
Required for motor carriers, freight brokers, and freight forwarders
Required for all interstate operators
Motor carriers applying for or maintaining FMCSA operating authority (MC#)
Freight brokers arranging transportation of property in interstate commerce
Freight forwarders providing dispatch and freight forwarding services
Any company that has been revoked and is reinstating their operating authority
The FMCSA will not issue your MC# or reinstate revoked authority without a valid BOC-3 on file.
