Why Brokers Pay the Minimum: How the Filing Handles It
Tier Auto-Lock
The order form reads your entity type and, for brokers and leasing companies, sets the filing count to 0, placing you in the minimum tier. No manual entry, no fleet audit confusion.
No Fleet Audit Required
Brokers register based on operating authority type, not headcount or vehicle inventory. Your rate is the same whether you have 1 employee or 100.
Same Federal Compliance
Your registration shows in the National Registration System the same way a motor carrier registration does, and the participating states check it the same way.
Who Qualifies for the Minimum Tier?
Under 49 CFR 367.50, these entity types register at the 0–2 vehicle tier
Freight Brokers
Holders of FMCSA Broker authority (MC number with Broker designation). No owned vehicles required.
Leasing Companies
Companies leasing vehicles to motor carriers. UCR is based on leasing authority, not vehicle inventory.
Freight Forwarders
Non-asset freight forwarders without direct motor carrier authority. Minimum tier applies when you report 0 power units.
Motor Carriers - Use Standard Form
If you hold MC carrier authority and operate vehicles, your rate is based on vehicle count.

Broker UCR Filing: Common Questions
Do freight brokers need to file UCR?
Yes. Under 49 CFR Part 367, UCR registration is mandatory for all freight brokers that arrange interstate transportation. UCR is not a condition of operating authority; the participating states enforce it. Brokers file at the minimum 0–2 vehicle tier regardless of company size.
How much does UCR cost for a freight broker in 2027?
Freight brokers pay the minimum 2027 UCR rate regardless of company size: the Bracket 1 UCR government fee of $55. The 0–2 vehicle tier applies to all broker-authority registrations. Fast Trucking Compliance adds a $35 service fee, for $90 ($55 UCR government fee + $35 service fee). No fleet count or audit documentation is required for broker filings.
What if I hold both broker authority and motor carrier authority?
If you hold both MC carrier and broker authority and operate commercial vehicles, your UCR registration is based on your vehicle count - not the broker minimum. Select "Motor carrier" as the entity type on our order form and enter your power-unit count. Your tier will be calculated from your actual fleet size.
