New Manitoba collision reporting requirements for motor carriers
The Manitoba government now requires all commercial motor vehicles involved in a collision within the province to report the occurrence through the provincial online portal within 30 days. Failure to comply may result in penalties of up to $2,000.

All motor carriers (i.e., for-hire, private, and exempt), brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies operating in interstate and international commerce are subject to the UCR Agreement. Carriers based in Canada and Mexico that operate in the U.S. are also subject to the UCR Agreement.
