One filing a year. Authority intact in 41 states.
UCR is the federally-mandated annual fee that motor carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders pay to the state of base jurisdiction. Window opens October 1; payment is due by December 31. Miss it and you can be cited at a roadside inspection. Order it here and our team files it for you.
Skip UCR and you can be cited at roadside.
Each participating state enforces UCR and sets its own penalties. Roadside inspectors check UCR status electronically, so an unregistered year shows up at the next inspection.
Six brackets. Fleet size sets the fee.
UCR fees aren't per-vehicle — they're tiered by the number of commercial motor vehicles you operate. Brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies without CMVs always file at Bracket 1 regardless of size. Our price includes the 2027 state UCR fee (49 CFR § 367.50) plus our filing fee.
State fees set by 49 CFR § 367.50 (registration year 2027 and later). Fleets of 21+ vehicles: call or text for a quote.
Who has to file UCR.
Anyone touching interstate commerce. The four entity types below all owe UCR if they move freight or arrange freight movement across state lines.
For-hire carriers.
Anyone hauling property or passengers across state lines for compensation. Fleet size determines the bracket; the smallest start at $55 (2027).
Private carriers.
Companies hauling their own goods interstate — manufacturers, distributors, retailers with company-owned trucks. Same brackets as for-hire.
Brokers & freight forwarders.
Anyone arranging interstate transportation, with or without their own equipment. Without CMVs, they file at Bracket 1 ($55 for 2027).
Leasing companies.
Companies leasing CMVs to interstate carriers without drivers. They are charged at the smallest fee bracket.
