***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** 

2020 UCR Registration Now Open

ALERT from FMCSA: Broker and Carrier Fraud and Identity Theft

Fraud and identity theft occurs when entities use another motor carrier’s assigned USDOT number, when not authorized to do so, or when someone acts as a broker and is not registered with FMCSA.  Fraud and identity theft are criminal acts.

Please use this document as a guide to handle these issues.

Enforcement Begins July 1

 The 2020 UCR registration period is now open.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published in the Federal Register 2020 fees for commercial carriers and other entities required by law to participate in the Unified Carrier Registration Plan (UCR).

Final rule “Fees for the Unified Carrier Registration Plan and Agreement”

UCR Recommends Enforcement Start on July 1

State enforcement of UCR registration requirements commonly begins January 1.  But since the opening of the 2020 registration period was delayed by several months due to a delay in the approval of fees, and with the more recent crisis brought on by the widespread outbreak of COVID-19, UCR is requesting that states delay enforcement until July 1, 2020.

For the third consecutive year, those businesses subject to UCR will see a reduction in fees. The fee reductions for 2018-2020 are based on recommendations from the UCR Board of Directors to FMCSA following several years of higher than expected collections.
