This form designates a process agent upon whom court papers may be served in any legal proceeding brought against a motor carrier, broker*, or freight forwarder.  Every motor carrier registered with the Federal Highway Administration must list the name and address of an agent from each state.  Brokers must designate a legal process agent in each state where offices are located or where contracts will be written.

*A broker arranges for the transportation of property where the actual movement is performed by FMCSA licensed motor carriers.  Brokers assume no responsibility for the property being transported.
