What Is A BOC-3

The Blanket of Coverage (BOC-3) form is an FMCSA requirement for interstate transportation companies. A BOC-3 form designates a person or an office to accept any legal papers on your behalf in any state you conduct business and/or traverse through, and then forward them to you. If there is no BOC-3 form or no insurance on file with the FMCSA, there will be no authority issued.

Who needs a BOC-3?

All interstate commercial motor vehicles are required to have a BOC-3 on file. A BOC-3 is required to successfully complete your Motor Carrier Authority or Freight Forwarder filings.

How do I file a BOC-3?

To file your BOC-3, you need to choose your BOC-3 processing agents. In most cases, it’s going to be easiest for you to do this with a “Blanket Legal Entity,” which is essentially a company that can represent you in all 50 states, leaving you free to operate your business as you wish. This is also the most cost-effective way to move forward, as you don’t have to waste time finding different BOC-3 agents and paying their various fees.

How long does it take to file form BOC-3?

Once the BOC-3 form has been properly completed and filed electronically with the FMCSA, they will issue operating authority and mail the document to you. Normally, operating authority documents are sent out within 3-4 business days.

When should you refile a BOC 3?

You should refile your BOC-3 any time there is a name change, transfer of authority, or another change to the details you provided on your BOC-3.

Can I act as my own process agent?

You may act as your own process agent within your base state only. You must have a physical address where services of process can be received during regular business hours. You’re required to hire a process agent for every state your company travels through.

FMCSA Regulation 49 CFR Part 366 details more about the Designation of Process Agents by Motor Carriers and Brokers.
