Created by the Unified Carrier Registration Act of 2005 (UCR Act - 49 United States Code (USC) section 14504a), it replaces the former system for registering and collecting fees from the operators of vehicles engaged in interstate travel – the Single State Registration System (SSRS).

UCR must be paid by each carrier once a year. UCR fees depend on the number of trucks in company fleet and are not dependent on any other factors such as miles driven and etc. UCR must be paid once a year and applies to the following vehicles:

• Vehicles over 10,000 lbs, or
• Vehicles transporting 11 or more passengers, or
• Vehicles with hazardous waste placarding

It should be noted that UCR, unlike the old SSRS system, is required for all interstate operating commercial motor vehicles NOT just for-hire vehicles.
