The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is a federally mandated program that requires most commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators and logistics companies to register and pay an annual fee.
Essentially, if you are an individual or company operating in interstate or international commerce, you likely need to file.
You must file for UCR if you operate in interstate commerce as any of the following:
Interstate Commerce Required
Companies paid to transport passengers or cargo belonging to others across state lines.
Companies that haul their own goods or property across state lines (e.g., construction companies).
Entities that arrange for the transportation of goods and take responsibility for them.
Entities that arrange transportation but do not own the trucks.
Companies that lease vehicles (without drivers) to motor carriers.

Our system tracks the filing window opening and processes your renewal early. Ensure your DOT number never shows as "non-compliant."
Keep your filing current to avoid trucks placed Out-of-Service (OOS) or fines exceeding $1,000 per vehicle for unregistered trips.
