Call to Action: Tell FMCSA that UCR fees are not a slush fund

June 16, 2022

|

FMCSA is reopening the comment period regarding fees for the 2023 Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Plan following OOIDA’s request. In January, FMCSA issued a proposed rulemaking that does not account for the full $42 million in excess revenue that UCR has accumulated over several years.

FMCSA will be accepting comments on the proposed fees until June 28. Tell FMCSA to set the UCR fees to only the amount allowed by law. UCR fees should NOT be used as a slush fund to finance meetings in fancy resort locations, splurging on lunch for state troopers at CVSA meetings, or subsidizing rainy-day spending accounts. Small-business truckers are already excessively taxed, tolled, and are now facing historically high diesel prices. FMCSA must keep UCR fees as low as the law requires.
