Indiana USDOT Compliance & Motor Carrier Operating Authority Information

Indiana calls itself the "Crossroads of America" for good reason - more interstate highways pass through Indiana than any other state. Indianapolis is a top-10 logistics market within a day's drive of 75% of the U.S. and Canadian populations. The state has no toll roads on most interstates except the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/I-90).

Indianapolis hosts a major FedEx hub and sits where more interstates converge than any other state. A new for-hire interstate carrier based here needs a BOC-3 process agent on file before FMCSA activates its operating authority - until it is, the authority stays NOT AUTHORIZED on SAFER, and a missing BOC-3 is a common reason new authority does not activate.

What Is FMCSA Form BOC-3? Process Agent Filing in Indiana

If you're a motor carrier, freight broker, or freight forwarder operating in or through Indiana, federal law requires you to designate a process agent in Indiana - along with every other state you run in - through a BOC-3 filing with the FMCSA.

A process agent in Indiana 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 Indiana along with every other state we serve - no per-state fees.
