Legal

TransComply's parent company, Service of Process Agents, Inc., has provided qualified attorneys as agents for service of process since 1979. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires all motor carriers to appoint an agent in every state in or through which they are authorized to operate.

Unlike most of our competitors, all of our agents are practicing attorneys specializing in representing the transportation industry. If you need legal assistance in any state, our agents can help where others cannot.
