The SCDMV Motor Carrier Services division focuses on commercial vehicles, helping with registrations, permits, taxes, and other services specific to the motor carrier industry.
Motor Carrier Services handles IRP applications, which are crucial for commercial vehicles operating in multiple states or provinces. This plan allows for the equitable distribution of registration fees.
The UCR program requires commercial vehicles that operate across state lines to register and pay fees. It helps ensure that carriers contribute fairly to the maintenance of highways.
The IFTA simplifies the reporting of fuel taxes by motor carriers operating in multiple states or provinces. Carriers file a single quarterly tax return to their base state, which then distributes the taxes to the appropriate jurisdictions.
The Motor Carrier Services office specifically handles queries related to commercial vehicle operations, registrations, and permits. This specialized office can provide more focused support than a general SCDMV branch.
