Fees for UCR are due between Oct.1 and Dec. 31 for ALL interstate motor carriers. UCR fees are paid in brackets, and the lowest bracket is for carriers with 0 to 2 commercial motor vehicles. So, even if your company doesn’t have a vehicle, the fee deadline still applies.

At the same time, UCR fees are due for ANY interstate carrier prior to crossing state lines for commercial purposes.
