File UCR for Multiple Trucks or Clients

Dispatchers and compliance coordinators who file UCR (and often Form 2290, MCS-150, IFTA) for multiple owner-operators or small carriers. You need a fast, reliable way to get everyone current before the December 31 deadline.

Fleet managers and small trucking companies with 3–20 power units. You have one UCR registration per legal entity, but you may also handle 2290 and MCS-150 updates for the same business—keeping everything in one workflow saves time and avoids missed deadlines.

Accountants and bookkeepers who support trucking clients. You already track tax and registration due dates; adding UCR to the annual checklist ensures clients stay compliant and avoid state and federal penalties.

UCR fees are set by the UCR Plan and your state—they vary by number of power units (trucks) in the fleet. There is no “bulk discount” from the government; each carrier pays the fee that matches their bracket. QuickTruckTax does not charge upfront: you file, we process, and the carrier (or you on their behalf) pays only when the certificate is ready.

For 3–5 trucks, the typical fee bracket is in the lower tier; for 6–20 trucks, a higher bracket applies. Use our UCR Fee Calculator to see the exact amount for each client. Filing multiple carriers is simple: run through the wizard once per carrier and keep a list of USDOT numbers and fee brackets so you can batch your workflow.

Many owner-operators confuse UCR with Form 2290 or state registration. In short: UCR is the annual Unified Carrier Registration required for anyone operating in interstate commerce. It’s due by December 31 each year; the registration year runs January 1–December 31. If they have a USDOT number and run across state lines, they almost certainly need UCR.

You can tell them: “UCR is separate from 2290. You need both. We’ll get your UCR filed so you’re legal—no upfront cost; you pay when your certificate is ready.” Point them to our UCR guides if they want to read more about who must file and deadlines.
