UCR Fees

UCR

unified carrier registration

UCR which stands for “UNIFIED CARRIER REGISTRATION” is a program that requires individuals or companies that operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register their business with a participating state and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet.

WHO IS REQUIRED TO PAY UCR FEES? (If operating interstate commerce in the United States):

  • Motor Carrier of property, both for-hire and private, whether or not they are considered exempt carriers for purposes of federal regulation
  • For-hire passenger Motor Carriers
  • Freight Forwarders
  • Brokers and Leasing companies that lease vehicles without drivers to interstate motor carriers or freight forwarders
  • If the carrier is based out of a state that does not participate in UCR (I.e. Florida), but they are INTERSTATE and cross state lines THEY MUST PAY UCR FEES STILL

 

EXEMPT CARRIERS FROM UCR FEES:

  • A motor carrier, either for-hire or private, may exclude vehicles that operate only in intrastate commerce in the transportation of property (including, for this purpose, waste and recyclables) from the carrier’s fleet count for purposes of the UCR fee.
  • Any INTRASTATE Carrier is NOT required to pay any sort of UCR Fee. NO states are allowed to collect from them even if the state participates in the UCR organization.
  • Private Carriers of Passengers
  • All motor carriers that operate solely within Hawaii, except those involved in moving household goods for individual shippers.
  • Unlike IRP and IFTA, foreign units of government, such as the Canadian provinces, and the U.S. territories, are not eligible to participate in UCR.
