Mississippi is a key north-south corridor connecting the Gulf Coast and the Port of Gulfport to Memphis via I-55. 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.
