(1) A motor carrier with annual or biennial registration
will be assigned a date for the expiration and renewal of its motor
carrier registration according to the last digit of the carrier's
certificate of registration number, as outlined in the following chart:
Attached Graphic
(2) 90 day certificates of registration are valid for
90 calendar days from the effective date.
(3) Seven day certificates of registration are valid
for seven calendar days from the effective date.
(b) Registration renewal.
(1) Approximately 60 days before the expiration of
registration, the department will mail or send electronically a renewal
notice to each registered motor carrier with annual or biennial registration.
The notice will be mailed to the carrier's last known address according
to the division's records. Failure to receive the notice does not
relieve the registrant of the responsibility to renew. A motor carrier
must ensure that the department receives the renewal at least 15 days
prior to the renewal date specified in subsection (a) of this section.
A supplement to an application for motor carrier registration renewal
must:
(A) supply any new information required under §218.13(e)
of this title (relating to Application for Motor Carrier Registration)
if the information has not previously been supplied to the department;
and
(B) include a $10 fee for each vehicle that the carrier
operates under an annual certificate of registration and a $20 fee
for each vehicle that the carrier operates under a biennial certificate
of registration.
(2) Seven day and 90 day registrations may not be renewed.
(3) A motor carrier shall maintain continuous insurance
or evidence of financial responsibility in an amount at least equal
to the amount prescribed under §218.16 of this title (relating
to Insurance Requirements).
(4) The insurance cab card issued to a motor carrier
is valid for the same period as the motor carrier's certificate of
registration.
(5) To renew registration after it has expired, a motor
carrier must identify its vehicles on a form prescribed by the director,
pay all vehicle fees, and if current proof of insurance is not on
file with the division, meet all insurance requirements.
(c) Interstate motor carrier operating in intrastate
commerce.
(1) An interstate motor carrier registered under §218.17
of this title (relating to Unified Carrier Registration System) is
not required to renew a certificate of registration issued under §218.11
of this title (relating to Motor Carrier Registration) except when
the motor carrier is operating as a
(A) non-charter bus carrier;
(B) household goods carrier; or
(C) recyclable materials or waste carrier.
(2) If a motor carrier that registered under §218.17
does not maintain continuous motor carrier registration under §218.11,
the motor carrier must file a supplemental application to re-register
under §218.13 to operate on public streets and highways in this
state.
(3) The motor carrier must notify the department if
the motor carrier is registered under UCR. The notification must be
filed with the department on a form prescribed by the department.
Once the department receives the notification, the department will
convert the motor carrier's certificate of registration to a non-expiring
certificate of registration if the motor carrier qualifies for a non-expiring
certificate of registration.
(4) If the department issues the motor carrier a non-expiring
certificate of registration, the motor carrier must notify the department
if the motor carrier is no longer registered under UCR or if the motor
carrier operates as a non-charter bus carrier, household goods carrier,
or recyclable materials or waste carrier. The notification must be
filed with the department on a form prescribed by the department.
