IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL INTERSTATE MOTOR CARRIERS
2011 and 2012 Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Program
2013 Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Program Commenced October 1, 2012
If you operate a truck or bus in interstate or international commerce there is a new federal law that applies to your business.
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Program requires individuals and companies that operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register their business with the Michigan Public Service Commission and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet.
A commercial motor vehicle is one that is operated in commerce and has a GVW or GVWR of at least 10,001 pounds or, in the case of a passenger vehicle, is one built to carry more than 10 persons, including the driver. It also includes a vehicle that transports hazardous materials in a quantity that requires placarding. It does not include, for this purpose, a vehicle that operates wholly in intrastate commerce.
You must register in order to operate in interstate commerce.
The 2013 UCR registration requirement will be enforced on motor carriers begining 2013. The UCR registration requirement is being enforced on the two previous UCR registration years. Please ensure that you have registered for 2011 and 2012 UCR if you are registered with the FMCSA as a motor carrier conducting interstate operations during that time.
