How does the UCR affect the USDOT requirements and number I currently have?
This registration will be an addition to the USDOT number you currently hold. In addition, farmers must register for both the Illinois UCR application and the USDOT application. A federal safety inspection will also be required for use. What sort of compliance or checking will they be doing to verify that I’m following the new UCR rule? The Illinois Commerce Commission has its own enforcement officers and with these increased regulations, additional officers will be on duty. The Illinois State Police also can enforce this registration requirement. DOT audits also check for compliance. However, local law enforcement should not be involved. If you do not register your vehicle, a fine could be imposed at the rate of $300 or more per incident (per un-registered vehicle).
