DIFFERENT PERMITS AND LICENSES
UCR PERMIT
The Unified Carrier Registration is compulsory for motor carriers hauling freight across states and international borders. Trucking companies must register in their base jurisdiction to obtain UCR Permit. They are also required to pay an annual fee according to the number of vehicles in their fleet. Failure to comply with this regulation can lead to detention and penalties by the officials.
MC AUTHORITY
Trucking authority is a unique identifier issued to commercial trucking companies by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to participate in interstate commerce. Obtaining your MC Authority gives you complete freedom to run your trucking business and stay compliant with the industry regulations.
USDOT NUMBER
