"Some say it's simple to get your authority, and that you should save your money and do it yourself. Other people, including myself, are not sure where to even begin. I used a service provided by DAT to get my authority. It was important to me that it was done right the first time, by people who have done this before."

Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is essential for carriers and brokers in commercial freight transport. It involves an annual submission of the Unified Carrier Report, which is crucial for calculating your operational fees, and is separate from FMCSA requirements. DAT Authority streamlines this process, offering expert assistance around the clock to handle your UCR needs.
UCR renewal is a yearly necessity for truckers and brokers, with consistent fees regardless of registration location. Timely submission of UCR forms to state authorities ensures payment of the appropriate fees for your transportation business, avoiding additional charges for late or incomplete registration.
UCR costs vary annually based on your business type and are deductible from your taxable income upon successful yearly submission. Fees depend on the number of vehicles in your fleet for carriers or those you broker. DAT Authority offers inclusive packages covering UCR and other services at a fixed annual rate.
UCR fees for transportation businesses are determined by state-level authorities, requiring compliance with state-specific UCR requirements through your home jurisdiction. Although UCR is federally mandated and standardized nationwide, filing and compliance are handled at the state level, ensuring uniform fees and requirements across all states.
UCR renewal can be done on the UCR website (UCR.gov), requiring details on your yearly operating history and the number of serviced vehicles. For brokers and carriers alike, DAT Authority offers expert assistance in completing UCR forms and provides professional support for any queries throughout the process.
All carriers and brokers in commercial freight transport require UCR registration, with fees varying by business. Even if some states don’t participate in the UCR program, you may need to fulfill UCR requirements in non-UCR states. Determine your UCR registration needs using the UCR’s registration compliance helper.
