FMCSA Proposes Decrease in UCR Fees
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is proposing to reduce the annual registration fees states collect for the Unified Carrier Registration Plan and Agreement for 2023 and subsequent registration years.
The proposed reduction would lower the fees for 2023 registration by 27%, below the 2022 fees.
This reduction would translate to $16 and $15,350, depending on the number of vehicles owned or operated by the company.
As seen in the graphic, FMCSA proposes to reduce the fee for independent owner-operators with one or two trucks from $59 to $43, with reductions for each fleet size up to 1,001 or more trucks, which would see a reduction from $56,977 to $41,627.
In accordance with U.S. Code, UCR fee adjustments must be requested by the UCR Plan when annual revenues exceed the maximum allowed.
