TIA has been advised that the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) is dissolving and becoming part of the American Trucking Associations (ATA). Therefore, AMSA will no longer be active as a blanket company to satisfy the BOC-3 filing requirement for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
TIA had an agreement with AMSA for many years, that assisted members in obtaining their BOC-3 process agent requirement. ATA has informed the community that they will be assuming the role of a new blanket provider and will be ready to file and maintain the requirement on your behalf.
You can access the blank ATA Agent of Process BOC-3 form for completion.
Please make sure to complete the form with your company name, company address and signature, and email the form back to BOCfiling@trucking.org. The ATA will file this under ATA as your blanket company to ensure that your company remains in compliance with FMCSA and will send you a filed copy to keep for your records.
Also, as a reminder, expect the annual renewal notice in December for the upcoming year (2021) exactly as you have before. If you have any questions on the process, please email ATA at jcardoza@trucking.org.
This obviously only applies for companies that have utilized AMSA as their process agent. If you have another blanket agent, please disregard.
