WHAT IS THE UCR REGISTRY?

UCR stands for Unified Carrier Registration. It is a federally mandated system for registering operators of commercial vehicles engaged in interstate and international travel. This annual UCR filing must be renewed by December 31 of each year.

WHO NEEDS A UCR FILING?

Any motor carrier driving a commercial vehicle transporting cargo over state or international lines. Individuals and businesses that arrange for the shipment of merchandise, such as brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies, are also subject to the UCR fee. For motor carriers, the cost of the UCR filing fee depends on the total number of vehicles in a fleet. Brokers and leasing companies must pay the lowest fee to register.
