Industry Overview
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) program is an annual federal requirement for commercial carriers operating in interstate commerce. It applies to trucking companies, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies. The UCR helps states fund safety programs, but for carriers, it's another must-have compliance checkbox. Here's the tricky part—UCR isn't a 'file once and forget' deal. You need to renew every year, pay based on your fleet size, and keep proof of registration handy for roadside inspections. Miss it, and you could face fines from $100 to over $5,000 per violation, plus possible out-of-service orders.
