Unified Carrier Registration (UCR)

If you're an interstate carrier, leasing company, broker, or freight forwarder driving a self-propelled or towed vehicle across state lines for business, you are required to obtain a Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) every year as long as your vehicle meets one of the following conditions.

  • It has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight of at least 10,001 pounds, whichever is greater.
  • It is designed to transport more than 10 passengers, including the driver.
  • It is transporting USDOT-regulated hazardous material that requires placarding.
