    Wow...what a bunch of work!!! and that BOC-3 form!!!! that's a bunch of crap!! I have been approached by EVERY "Tom ,Dick, and Harry" to file that for me!!! One company(I wont mention) wanted $69.00 for first year and $39.00 for each subsequent year to file it (they have to be government approved) all this to file a piece of paper with my MC# ...DOT# company name , address, date and Phone # ...all this info they already have!!! BTW OOIDA will file it for free and it only needs to be filed one time!... Yesterday I was told a 2290 form had to be prepaid (true) and I couldn't register my truck with out it (not true) anyway that is paid as well. Now tonite I'm made aware of a " Unified Carrier Registration" tax that must be paid.. I'm seeing $187.00 plus an additional $100.00 for an "emergency processing fee" Is that the real deal or can I get it cheaper elseware. Also is there something I'm over looking?
    Thanks in advance guys

    You can file the UCR yourself online. It's like $76 for a one or two truck operation.

    Yep pretty much. Tool salesman also, they are irritating. They all talk to you like you know eachother and make it sound like you contacted them and they are just getting back to you.....I guess so you don't hang up right away.
