What Is UCR Registration?
Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is a federal program that applies to motor carriers, freight brokers, and transportation companies involved in interstate commerce—meaning your vehicles cross state lines.
If your business operates commercial vehicles across state borders, you're required to pay an annual UCR fee based on your fleet size. This registration helps fund safety enforcement programs across participating states.
Why It Matters: Failure to register can lead to fines, delays, or even being taken off the road. Staying current with your UCR ensures your business remains compliant and avoids costly disruptions.
