All motor carriers, brokers, and leasing companies that haul across state lines or within a state that adheres to the UCR program, are required to register their US DOT Numbers with the Unified Carrier Registration.
All UCR filings will be completed during normal business hours.
Starting January 1, 2024, all relevant companies in the trucking industry, that lack Unified Carrier Registration compliance, may be subjected to citations, fines, and penalties imposed by individual states, the DOT and the board of the Unified Carrier Registration. You will also not be allowed to renew your trucks' registrations as well as IFTA. In order to ensure complete compliance, the aforementioned freight hauling companies are advised to verify that the number of trucks requiring registration matches the amount listed on the MCS-150 / Biennial Update that was last filed (this number will affect filing fee and truck tier pricing). Please note, pricing is for the UCR filing fee, processing fee, filing fee and there may be additional fees for processing time as well as a certificate.
For brokers, it is recommended to complete this registration under the 1-2 trucks section if business operations include interstate activity (if brokering any loads outside of the state the company is operating in).
Please note, the total listed fee at checkout is for the UCR fee as assessed by the UCR board for the year and the number of trucks registered, service charge, and there may be additional fees for processing time.
If you need to reactivate your USDOT Number you can do so now online.
After you have submitted this request, you will be sent over paperwork with instructions on how to fill it out. Please fill it out and reply back to the agent with that form so that they can process it. Delays with receiving this paperwork may cause your USDOT Number Reactivation to be delayed. This is only for carriers who have previously voluntarily deactivated their USDOT Number, your USDOT Number has been revoked or your USDOT Number shows as "Inactive". This is not for carriers who have an Out Of Service USDOT Number or are labeled as temporarily inactive due to lapse in insurance or late filing of the MCS-150.
Please note, it can take anywhere from 1 week to 3 weeks once an agent has processed your request for your USDOT Number to be considered active.
