Brokers and truck leasing companies pay fees at the lowest level for motor carriers. By federal law, the total revenue collected under the UCR Plan is capped; if collections exceed the cap, then the FMCSA must reduce the fees accordingly. Carriers operating in interstate commerce must register and pay the fees to their base state each year.
