Motor carriers involved in interstate commerce, and other businesses subject to
Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) are required to submit annual fees based on fleet size to supplement funding for state highway motor carrier registration and safety programs.
The Unified Carrier Registration is a registration required for most interstate carriers as well as brokers and freight forwarders. The UCR is a major source of revenue for state DOT safety and compliance programs. The fees are determined by fleet size with brokers and freight forwarders on the minimum fee bracket.
The UCR Plan is the organization of State, Federal and industry representatives responsible for developing, implementing and administering the UCR Agreement. The UCR Agreement is the interstate agreement, developed under the UCR Plan, governing the collection and distribution of registration information and fees generated under the UCR Agreement.
