Trucking companies get more time to argue against higher registration fees

The US Department of Transportation extended the deadline for public comments on new fees for interstate trucking. This gives small trucking businesses more time to review the fee calculations and submit their objections.

The Unified Carrier Registration Plan sets annual fees for companies that operate commercial vehicles across state lines. These fees cover administrative costs and enforcement. Giving the public more time to comment, especially small businesses, means the final fee structure might face stronger challenges and potentially be adjusted.
