UCR Non-Participating States

Also known as: Non-Participating States

By Korey Sharp-Paar · Reviewed by the Fast Trucking Compliance team

Definition

UCR non-participating states are the states that have not joined the UCR Agreement and do not collect UCR fees themselves - Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia. Carriers based in these states are still federally required to file UCR; they simply select the nearest participating state as their base state. Being based in a non-participating state never exempts a carrier from UCR. The 41 participating states share the revenue, and the fee is identical in every state, so the choice of base state does not change the amount owed.

UCR Base State Rules

41 states participate directly in UCR. If your principal place of business is in one of them, that is your base state. If not, pick a participating neighbor as your UCR base.
