Notice To All Interstate Motor Carriers and Motor Private Carriers
If you operate a truck or bus in interstate or international commerce, the federal Unified Carrier Registration Agreement (UCR) applies to your business.
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Program requires individuals and companies that operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register their business with the State of New Hampshire and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet. The revenues generated will be used for enforcement of motor carrier safety programs.
A “Commercial Motor Vehicle” is defined as a self-propelled or towed vehicle used on the highways in commerce principally to transport passengers or cargo, if the vehicle:
(a) has a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more;
(b) is designed to transport 11 or more passengers (including the driver); or
(c) is used in transporting hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placarding.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
If you operated in 2008 and did not register in the UCR, you must pay both your
2008 and 2009 UCR fees to avoid possible enforcement action.
