UCR Registration Services
Interstate carriers, brokers, and forwarders must register and pay their Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) fee every year — miss it and you risk fines and out-of-service stops. We file your UCR on time, at the right fleet-size tier, with the government fee passed through at cost.
Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is a mandatory annual federal registration for interstate carriers, brokers, and forwarders. We file it on time at the correct fleet-size tier.
Unified Carrier Registration is an annual requirement for interstate motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies. Your fee is based on your fleet size, and the registration has to be renewed each year — miss it and you're exposed to fines and out-of-service enforcement in the states that participate.

We handle your annual UCR registration, calculate the correct fleet-size tier, and file on time. The government fee is set by your tier and passed through at cost; our service fee covers the filing.
