    I’ve been researching it and honestly, I’m overwhelmed! There are plenty of lists on what to do get this get that, but where exactly do I go to get these items...and what’s up with the processing agent? I’ll stop here! Please help! I live in the Atlanta, Ga. area.

    Also, how much should I have saved up??? I know I’ll lose money before I make it!

    Omg become a driver for at least a few years.


    To answer your question .... a processing agent is someone who represents you to the process server.

    Just Google it. Find someone in your area that does it, find out what the cost of Insurance is, if you can afford it, then proceed, NASTC out of Nashville Tn. Is also very helpful and I prefer their Insurance over OIDA. Nothing against OIDA, long time member.

    ...and you need one in each state that you’re operating in?

    Yes, but you get a blanket that covers all the states. BoC 3 if memory serves.

    BOC3, is just a required part of the insurance policy. Comes with the policy. Why do you think you have to have your own Authority? It’s a simple $300 application, can be done in 5 minutes. Then get insurance, IRP, IFTA accounts, Drug testing program, and hit the road. You’ll be rich in no time.

    Crap, too early in the day, yes insurance can require it first but it is for process servers to gain access to you.
