Filing our BOC-3

Apparently having insurance, having federal, state, local licence and permits is not enough. By law we are required to have a process agent aka attorney in every state that we intend to operate in. This process agent is there so that if anyone wants to file a claim with us for injury, accident or whatever that they can easily find us and contact us. I am honestly not sure why this is required. But it is. So since it is we are following the law and we setup a process agent for Oregon.

Since we are right on the boarder with Washington we have been getting requests for services in Vancouver. So we went to find a process agent for Washington. We found something much better and I decided that I wanted to share it. The average cost of 1 state is $30 to $45 when you talk to a process agent directly. We already paid that for Oregon. But then we found http://www.evilsizor.com/ . This company does 48 states for $30 total! Score. :)

I figured I would share this because it is a huge savings on time and money. I don't get anything for referrals. But if you call them tell them that you found the info on our blog here. We setup with them this morning. About an hour later we had a list of all of the contacts for every state FAXed to us. Looks to be a good service. I highly recommend it.

On another note. The repair estimate is now at $14,000. What's another thousand bucks? Ugg.
