Check First, Pay Later: UCR Filing With Nothing Upfront
With EasyUCR you start with a free check — enter your USDOT and the AI reads your FMCSA record, confirms whether UCR even applies to you, and shows your exact bracket fee. You pay the flat $79 only when you choose to run the live filing, and the government fee is paid by you directly on UCR.gov at the end. Nothing is charged to see where you stand.
Why 'free check first' matters for UCR
Plenty of operators don't owe UCR at all (intrastate-only), and plenty more are about to pay the wrong bracket from a stale truck count. Charging before answering those two questions is how the sketchy corners of this industry work. The check answers both, free: covered or not, and the exact dollar figure if you are.
What the free check actually does
It pulls your live FMCSA record — operating status, authority type, power units from your MCS-150 — and maps it to the current bracket table. You see whether UCR applies, your bracket, and the exact fee, all before any payment screen exists.
What the $79 buys when you proceed
The live filing: the AI opens the official UCR.gov portal in a secure browser, fills the entire registration with your verified details while you watch, and stops before payment. You review and submit, and the government fee goes directly to UCR.gov. If the AI can't complete the preparation, our refund policy covers you.
No subscriptions, no surprises
One flat fee per filing, shown before you pay, with the government fee always separate and visible. No auto-renewal charge next October — we email you when registration opens and you decide.
Frequently asked questions
Is the UCR fee check really free?+
Yes — enter your USDOT and see your bracket and exact fee with no payment details collected. You only pay the $79 if you choose to run the live filing.
Do I pay the government fee through EasyUCR?+
No. The bracket fee is paid by you directly on UCR.gov during the final review step. We never collect or pass through the government fee.
What if it turns out I don't need UCR?+
Then the check tells you exactly that, you pay nothing, and you're done. That outcome is the point of checking first.
What if the filing fails?+
If our system can't prepare a usable filing through a fault on our side, you're entitled to a full refund of the $79 — see our refund policy.
