Overview
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is part of a federally-mandated program where states collect fees from motor carriers and other entities based on the number of qualifying commercial motor vehicles in their fleets.
Interstate motor carriers are required to register and pay the annual fees under the Unified Carrier Registration Agreement (UCRA).
The UCR filing dates for 2024 registrations are October 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.
Whether you are setting up your initial UCR registration, or need help with your renewal, we can handle it for you, ensuring your information is accurate and your UCR renewal is completed on time.
Who Does UCR Apply To?
The UCR Agreement applies to:
- Interstate for-hire property and passenger carriers
- Exempt for-hire carriers
- Private property carriers
- Interstate freight forwarders, brokers, and leasing companies
Carriers from Canada or Mexico operating in the U.S. are also subject to UCR registration.
Carriers that are exempt from UCR include:
- Intrastate-only carriers
- Private passenger carriers, such as church busses
UCR Registration Fees
Annual fees are based on the number of commercial motor vehicles a fleet operates in interstate commerce. This fee is payable to the carrier's base state.
Our team can help make sure you have an accurate count of vehicles, so you don’t overpay or underpay
