IMPACTING THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY

Our Mission

LOW SERVICE FEES

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

Have you experienced poor quality services in the trucking business industry? How about overpriced service fees? Were you ever scammed into paying for something that was not due for your company?

It's time to experience exceptional quality services at unmatched low fees. Our low service fee guarantee will match anyone's service fees. Additionally we provide many services for free like the Random Drug and Alcohol Program and over the phone regulation support.
Scam-Free

KNOW WHAT'S DUE

SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU

The FMCSA and the DOT impose many regulations and mandates. But not every regulation applies to all transportation companies. And many agents prey on the lack of knowledge of transportation company owners scamming them into paying for services that are not required for them.

Our goal is to help you stay DOT compliant scam-free. We always quote the DOT regulation code that may pertain to your company and the source where you can read about it. You should not trust everyone and you don't have to trust us, but you should rather always seek the source of the regulation and the requirement. We will help you with this regardless of whether you complete a service with us or not.

UCR FILINGS EXPLAINED


The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) program is a federally mandated system that requires trucking companies and other motor carriers operating in interstate commerce to register and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet. Here's an explanation of the UCR obligations for trucking companies:
  • Registration: Trucking companies subject to UCR obligations must register with the program annually.
  • Fee Payment: Upon registration, trucking companies are required to pay an annual fee based on the number of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) they operate. The fee structure is determined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and is based on the total number of qualifying CMVs in the fleet.
  • Qualifying Vehicles: Qualifying vehicles include those used in interstate commerce and meeting specific criteria, such as having a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross vehicle weight (GVW) of over 10,000 pounds. Certain exemptions may apply based on the type of operation or vehicle usage.
  • Compliance Verification: Enforcement of UCR compliance is typically managed by state agencies, which may conduct audits or inspections to verify that trucking companies have registered and paid the required fees. Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines, and even suspension of operating authority.
  • Renewal: UCR registration and fee payment must be renewed annually. Failure to renew by the specified deadline may result in penalties and enforcement actions. Trucking companies are responsible for ensuring timely renewal to maintain compliance with UCR requirements.

Overall, the UCR program imposes obligations on trucking companies engaged in interstate commerce to register, pay annual fees based on fleet size, and maintain compliance with program requirements. This system helps fund state and federal efforts to improve safety, enforcement, and infrastructure within the commercial transportation industry. In order to be compliant with the UCR mandate, if your company conducted business in interstate commerce during the current or previous years, you must pay the UCR dues.
