Unified Carrier Registration (UCR)

What is ucr registration?

The Unified Carrier Registration(UCR) is a federally mandated program that replaces the Single State Registration System(SSRS). The UCR Act states that individuals or companies involved in interstate travel must pay annual UCR registration taxes based on the total number of vehicles in their fleet. The UCR registration fees are a major source of revenue supporting safety programs and USDOT officer training.

Most interstate carriers are required to register and pay fees annually under the unified Carrier Registration(UCR) Agreement before operating. This is done by filing a UCR application with the state your company is based. If your company is based in a non-UCR state, you’ll need to file with a neighboring state.

Motor Carriers based in Canada, Mexico, or any other country that operate in interstate or international commerce in the United States, are also subject to the unified Carrier Registration(UCR) Agreement.
