Good news for truckers across Minnesota and Wisconsin: the 2026 Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) period is now open.
If your company operates in interstate commerce, it's time to register and keep your fleet fully compliant for the coming year.
The 2026 UCR registration window runs from October 1 through December 31, 2025.
We recommend registering early—waiting until the end of the year can lead to processing delays or potential fines.
Getting it done now means you'll roll into 2026 with one less compliance task to worry about.
The 2026 UCR fees remain the same as 2025, based on your total fleet size:
| Fleet Size |
2026 Fee |
| 0–2 vehicles |
$46 |
| 3–5 vehicles |
$138 |
| 6–20 vehicles |
$276 |
| 21–100 vehicles |
$963 |
| 101–1,000 vehicles |
$4,592 |
| 1,001+ vehicles |
$44,836 |
Each bracket represents your company's total number of commercial vehicles.
Fees are per company, not per truck.
Fees are holding steady for 2026—collections met federal requirements, so there's no increase this year.
That means easier budgeting and a simple renewal process for most fleets.
If your business operates commercial vehicles across state lines, UCR registration is required—even if you're based in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
That includes:
- Motor carriers (property or passenger)
- Freight forwarders
- Brokers
- Leasing companies
Important: Running without a valid UCR registration can lead to fines or out-of-service orders during inspections—anywhere in the U.S., not just the Midwest.
