    I have been doing it since they first started back in 2010 I believe? Anyway I fill out the form and pay my fees but I don't get what it does. I know it is just another tax on us but what do they try to say it does? IFTA I understand what it does, MC number I understand, USDOT# I understand but the UCR just asks how many trucks and pay this much. They don't ask for any vins or unit numbers so I don't get what they are accomplishing. All that info is already on your MCS-150.

    Best I can figure, it distributes an interstate carrier's registration and financial responsibility information to all of the states and forbids states from charging carriers additional registration fees to do interstate business in their jurisdictions.

    Could always go back to the single state registration which was far more expensive.

    It is a way for each state that you are legal to run in to get a portion of the registration and heavy use tax that you are paying.

    I thought that was what IRP was for and I thought HVUT was a federal thing?

    When I do my IRP registration I have to submit miles in each state but UCR asks nothing about what states I go to.

    To young to have had to deal with them on my trucks, but paid attention to the process and aggravation level of them on my dad's trucks.

    Gives a real appreciation for how simple ifta is in comparison.

    I was bored one day and read the UCR mandate some what.
    The short answer is just another 80 dollars they legally steal from us.
    Supposedly they think of way to distribute IFTA and IRP monies, all this could be handled under ONE plan.
    But think of all the extra government workers who would be without jobs?
