What is the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) system?
UCR
The UCR system allows interstate trucking businesses—like carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders—to pay a yearly fee that supports highway safety programs in certain states. If your trucks (or the loads you arrange) ever cross state lines, you need to file for UCR.
Think of it like this: Let’s say you run a small fleet in Phoenix and send produce across the border into California. Even if it’s just once a month, you still have to register under UCR. Ignoring it might lead to fines or even having your trucks temporarily pulled off the road. That’s a situation no one wants.
