First of all, in our politically correct climate, the term Motor Carrier is just the new and more acceptable name for what we used to call Truckers.
There is a multitude of abbreviations regarding Truckers regulations and Truckers insurance and it can all be very confusing!! Here is an effort to help our South Carolina truckers to better understand these abbreviations:
DOT – Department of Transportation
FMCSA – Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
UCR – Unified Carrier Registration
URS – Unified Registration System
MCA80 – Motor Carrier Act of 1980
MCSA – Motor Carrier Safety Act
ICC – Interstate Commerce Commission
FR – Financial Responsibility
