Please note: If your carrier operations take you into Canada, please be aware that there is a new fuel charge impacting carriers operating in certain Canadian provinces. The Canadian government has introduced this fuel charge as part of their Greenhouse Gas Pollution Act which is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). View this informational handout for more information and how to register. Failure to register could result in substantial penalties. Please also be aware that these new charges and filings are in addition to your Wisconsin IFTA quarterly filings and not payable through Wisconsin DMV. Wisconsin DMV has no authority over this fuel charge or its requirements for carrier registration.
Please note: The 2019 UCR registration period is now open. State enforcement of the UCR registration requirements commonly begins January 1, but since the opening of the 2019 registration period was delayed several months, state enforcement of the 2019 registration period will now begin May 1, 2019. Please visit the UCR website for further information and to register.
Please note: Counter hours and procedures have changed for the Motor Carrier Registration Unit and the Oversize/Overweight Permit Unit. Learn more about these changes for the Motor Carrier Counter and the Oversize/Overweight Counter. View the informational video to see where to go for counter service and how to navigate the Hill Farms State Office Building.
