Professional UCR Filing Services
Ensure your interstate operations remain compliant with our expert Unified Carrier Registration solutions
Operating in interstate commerce as a motor carrier, broker, freight forwarder, or leasing company comes with mandatory annual requirements. One of the most critical is the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR). At USCSCO, we streamline this essential process, ensuring your business remains compliant and avoids costly disruptions.
Understanding the UCR
The UCR is a federally mandated program that requires entities operating commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register and pay annual fees. These fees directly contribute to state-level motor carrier safety and enforcement programs, helping to maintain safe highways across the nation.
Who Needs to File?
Motor Carriers
Both for-hire and private carriers transporting property or passengers across state lines. The fee is based on the number of commercial motor vehicles in your fleet (power units only).
Brokers
Entities that arrange for the transportation of property by a motor carrier.
Freight Forwarders
Entities that arrange for the transportation of property by a motor carrier and assume responsibility for the property.
Leasing Companies
Companies that lease commercial motor vehicles to motor carriers.
Key UCR Deadlines
The UCR filing period typically opens on October 1st for the upcoming year and the deadline for renewal is December 31st of the current year. For example, the 2026 UCR filing period opened on October 1, 2025, with a deadline of December 31, 2025. It's crucial to file on time, as enforcement begins January 1st.
