What is Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Program?

If your company operates in interstate commerce—whether as a motor carrier, broker, freight forwarder, leasing company, or freight hauler—you are required by federal law to register under the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) program and file annually. Failure to comply can lead to serious consequences, including vehicle detention and daily fines.

If my base state is a non-participating state that means UCR does not apply to me, correct?

No, if you operate as an interstate carrier and cross into a state that does participate, then you are required to register with UCR.

If I am an Amazon or Postal Service Contractor do I have to register for UCR?

Yes. Even though you do not cross state lines, your parcels do. That makes you an Interstate carrier and you would be required to register at the 0-2 fleet size.
