What is UCR Registartion?

UCR Registration (Unified Carrier Registration) is a federally mandated program essential for motor carriers and businesses engaged in interstate commerce. This program necessitates the registration and annual filing of fleets. Compliance with UCR is crucial for your commercial transportation business, as failure to register may result in the inability to operate or potential removal from the road.

What are the consequences of not obtaining UCR registration?

If caught driving across state lines without UCR, authorities can detain your vehicle, and you may face fines ranging from $50 to $2000 per day, or even potential jail time, depending on the states involved.

Unified Carrier Registration – Apply To Your Business?

UCR is relevant to the following categories if you engage in interstate commerce (crossing state lines):

  • Motor carriers of property, both for-hire and private (including Ag-exempt farmers).

  • For-hire passenger motor carriers (10+ passengers, including the driver).

  • Leasing companies that lease vehicles without drivers to interstate motor carriers or FF.

  • Freight Forwarders (FF).

  • Brokers.
