What is UCR?
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is a yearly registration for companies that operate commercial vehicles in interstate or international commerce.
Your fee is based on fleet size and helps fund state safety and enforcement programs. Registration is required every year, and operating without it can lead to fines and roadside citations.
