The 'BOC 3'


What is a 'BOC 3' and who is required to have it.
As part of the FHWA requirements, Federal Rules mandate that every Freight Broker and Interstate Authorized For Hire Carrier operating under their own operating authority have a current BOC -3 form? on file with the office of motor carrier safety.

The BOC-3 form is a list of registered process agents for each state, who, in the event of a legal action being presented against the motor carrier by an individual or legal entity from outside the carriers base state, would accept the papers being served on the carriers behalf and would then forward them to the carrier being served.

A current BOC-3 form must be on file with OMCSA in order to secure operating authority as a Broker or a Carrier and to maintain active operating status.
