Oregon will fine truckers anyway

Not a UCR host state, Oregon will fine truckers anyway

Motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders and leasing companies that have failed to register with the Unified Carrier Registration Program became subject to fines effective July 1. And even though the state of Oregon doesn’t participate in the new program – which replaced the old Single State Registration System – it will soon begin imposing a fine for UCR non-compliance.
What’s up with that? Jo Schiffner of the Oregon Department of Transportation explained it to Land Line.

A few senteces here sums this up...

And even though the state of Oregon doesn’t participate in the new program – which replaced the old Single State Registration System

It would require us an additional burden to collect the fees ... so we have chosen not to do it,” Schiffner told Land Line Magazine.

And while the state is not collecting UCR fees, it is bound by law to enforce compliance.”

Fines for UCR non-compliance differ from state to state. Oregon’s fine will be $427

(highlighted is key point of each sentences...)
_______________________________________________

Basically this comes down to exactly this..... We can make more money by not participating in the program because we would have to spend money to collect fee's... (and they don't have to share ticket money with the federal government but they would have to share the registration money if they participated.)

Organ has found a loop hole in the new rules and taking full advantage of it..
