Georgia USDOT Compliance & Motor Carrier Operating Authority Information
Georgia is one of the most important freight states in the nation. The Port of Savannah is the fastest-growing container port in the U.S. and the third-busiest overall. Atlanta is the top intermodal hub in the Southeast, and I-75/I-85 through Atlanta is one of the busiest freight corridors in America.
The Port of Savannah's rapid container growth has made Georgia a high-volume drayage market, especially around Atlanta and Garden City. New drayage carriers there routinely need a BOC-3 on file before port and load-board access clears - it is a common gap flagged in the FMCSA new-entrant safety audit.

Georgia operates the Truck-Only Lanes pilot on I-75 south of Atlanta and has unique chassis-pool registration requirements at Garden City Terminal in Savannah for drayage carriers.
What Is FMCSA Form BOC-3? Process Agent Filing in Georgia
If you're a motor carrier, freight broker, or freight forwarder operating in or through Georgia, federal law requires you to designate a process agent in Georgia - along with every other state you run in - through a BOC-3 filing with the FMCSA.
A process agent in Georgia is a person or company authorized to accept legal documents, including lawsuits and subpoenas, on your behalf within the state. Without this designation on file, FMCSA won't activate your operating authority.
Your BOC-3 is filed as a blanket process agent designation. A single $75 filing covers Georgia along with every other state we serve - no per-state fees.
