What is the UCR?
The UCR, otherwise known as the Unified Carrier Registration, is a type of trucking filing that is required of some truck drivers. You need to have an active UCR filing if you operate as an interstate driver. The filing changes in some ways (such as cost) based on the number of trucks you have in your fleet. This is because the UCR serves as a way to fund the maintenance of public roads and driver safety programs. The more you contribute to the issues of the roads, i.e., you drive more trucks on them, the more you have to pay. The time is now to get your UCR 2024 renewed.
How Do I File for My UCR Renewal?
Did you know that the Unified Carrier Registration is only actually good for one calendar year? Annually, you have to complete a UCR registration renewal by December 31st in order to have your registration active through to the next year. That is to say, in order to continue to have an active UCR into 2024, you had to submit your UCR renewal 2023. Now, if you want to continue to have an active UCR into 2025, you will have to submit your UCR renewal 2024. If you do not submit the UCR registration renewal by the deadline date of December 31st, you will have to restart the filing process and file for a brand new Unified Carrier Registration.
