Truck companies have large bundles of responsibilities on their shoulders, and one of the most important is staying compliant under the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR). We have helped thousands of carriers stay alert on their annual tax and registration requirements—from UCR filing to no enforcement problems—in smooth-functioning operations.
The UCR is a federally mandated program for interstate motor carriers, private carriers, freight brokers, leasing companies, and freight forwarders, which requires them to register and pay an annual fee dependent on the size of their fleet. And you have to ensure that your UCR has been filed even when you operate with a single power unit, before Enforcement sets in for the year.
Start e-Filing Form 2290 Now!DOT compliance means the set of rules and safety standards laid out by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) that all commercial motor carriers have to comply with. They regulate safe transportation practices, avoid accidents, and ensure that all vehicles remain duly fit to operate on the road.
The following entities are affected by this design:
Once you operate across state lines, even once per year, you will be subject to compliance.
While UCR is not a federal tax, noncompliance can expose one to:
Full compliance means an unhindered business operation, less disturbance, and solace throughout the year.
You must register for UCR if:
All these comply with interstate activities only.
Your business would not have to file UCR if it is only intrastate and does not require compliance under that particular state's regulations.
It usually requires carriers to keep updated on:
Then as 2290 service providers, we ease compliance by walking carriers through what details are required and how to verify your correct fleet count.
Every year, UCR registration is opened on the first of October or thereabout, for the following calendar year. The registration must be completed before January 1 to evade UCR enforcement penalties.
UCR Fees (Fleet Based)
UCR fees are based on how many power units you own or operate.
These fee brackets are reassessed every year by the UCR Board, with all participating states adhering to the same structure.
Most of the time, carriers file UCR along with Form 2290 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, IFTA renewals, and IRP plate registrations, plus any state permits and USDOT biennial updates. Your IRS-stamped Schedule 1 (proof of Form 2290) is sometimes required for IRP plates and DMV registration, thus making 2290 filing an important step in your overall compliance workflow. While filing 2290 with us, we keep you informed about UCR and all other requirements to maintain your total compliance.
UCR is being enforced in a majority of the United States. With an updated UCR registration, you will have:
Whoever you are, file your UCR on time—an owner-operator with one truck or the fleet owner overseeing many units.
We simplify trucking compliance concerning Form 2290, Schedule 1, and other annual requirements such as UCR. If you require guidance, information, and assistance to file on time, we will get you and your business covered.

The assistance provided was beyond expectations. This was my first time doing it, and their support stayed with me until everything was completed. It took me longer because I was multitasking and they waited whileI was getting other things done. Thank you! The best service I have ever received from any phone support.

I have been using Simple Truck Tax for six years now to file our yearly 2290. It is simple to use, and they file it quickly. I have a login, and it is easy to add and remove trucks. They remember my information, so I don't have to upload it again the following year. I definitely recommend their 2290 service.
