FMCSA operating authority is federal permission to haul freight for hire across state lines. Without it, you can only run intrastate loads. Most for-hire carriers operating interstate need one of three types: common carrier (regulated property), contract carrier, or freight broker. A valid BOC-3 on file is a prerequisite for your operating authority to become active.

Yes. Your authority status on SAFER will show "NOT AUTHORIZED" until your BOC-3 is on file with the FMCSA. Brokers, shippers, and load boards check this status before working with you. Filing your BOC-3 is typically the last step before your authority goes active.

We submit your BOC-3 directly to the FMCSA on the same business day you complete your order. Most filings are processed and reflected on SAFER within 1 business day. You'll receive an email confirmation as soon as it's complete.

Yes. The BOC-3 requirement applies to all three authority types: motor carriers (MC), freight brokers (MC-B), and freight forwarders (FF). If you hold or are applying for any FMCSA operating authority, you need a BOC-3 on file.

It's a one-time payment. Unlike most competitors who charge $49 to $99 every year for renewal, we never charge again. Your process agent designation stays active with no recurring fees, no hidden costs, and no annual invoices.

Blanket coverage means your BOC-3 filing designates a process agent across the lower 48 states with a single filing. Some services charge per state or only cover certain regions. Our $75 flat fee covers every jurisdiction the lower 48 carriers actually run in.

We guarantee 100% acceptance. If your filing is not accepted for any reason, we re-file immediately at no additional cost. If we still can't get it accepted, you get a full refund.

Yes. Filing a new BOC-3 through us automatically supersedes your previous filing with the FMCSA. There's no cancellation process needed with your old provider. Once we file, your new designation takes effect.
