US - Federal Motor Carrier Authority Online Filings announces the opening of Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) pre-registration for 2025. Motor carriers, brokers, and leasing companies that operate across state lines or within UCR-participating states can take advantage of this early registration period. Pre-registering before the official registration date of October 1, 2024, provides a 10% reduction in filing fees across all tiers except for the tier of 1001+ trucks, which does not receive a discount during the pre-registration period.
The Unified Carrier Registration program mandates that all motor carriers, brokers, and leasing companies register their US DOT Numbers. This requirement is essential for those hauling freight across state lines or within states adhering to the UCR program. The pre-registration process aims to streamline compliance and offer financial benefits to early registrants. Interested parties can pre-register for the 2025 UCR.
From January 1, 2025, companies failing to comply with UCR regulations may face significant penalties, including citations, fines, and restrictions imposed by individual states, the Department of Transportation, and the UCR Board. Non-compliant companies will also be barred from renewing truck registrations and International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) credentials. To avoid these consequences, companies are advised to ensure their fleet size matches the number listed on their last MCS-150/Biennial Update, as this figure will influence their filing fees and truck tier classification.
It is crucial for brokers engaged in interstate operations to register under the 1-2 trucks section, ensuring proper compliance. The total fee at checkout for UCR pre-registration includes the UCR fee, processing fee, filing fee, and any additional costs associated with processing time and certification. Detailed information on the UCR program and its requirements can be found in the UCR frequently asked questions.
Federal Motor Carrier Authority Online Filings offers a streamlined and user-friendly pre-registration process for the 2025 UCR, ensuring that companies can easily comply with regulatory requirements. The pre-registration period allows businesses to plan ahead, avoid last-minute issues, and benefit from cost savings.
Companies participating in the pre-registration will receive confirmation of their registration status in the first week of October 2024, ensuring they are fully compliant before the new year begins. This early registration will also provide peace of mind, knowing that all regulatory requirements have been met before the mandatory compliance date.
