The Utah Motor Carrier Division (MCD) was established in 1985 as a division of the Utah Department of Transportation and is dedicated to the safe and efficient movement of goods within the State of Utah.

The MCD launched its Safe Driver Training Program in 2016 in an effort to improve driver safety on the state’s highways. The program provides free training courses for truckers, including topics such as defensive driving, accident avoidance, and vehicle maintenance. Drivers who complete the training are eligible for discounts on their insurance premiums. Additionally, the MCD is committed to engaging with the trucking community through events such as the annual Truckers Appreciation Day, which provides free food and entertainment for truckers and their families.

The MCD also administers the Utah Fleet Safety Awards, which recognize fleets that have achieved the highest levels of safety through training and compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The awards are given to fleets that have demonstrated a commitment to safety while operating commercial vehicles in Utah. Fleets that receive the award have demonstrated a commitment to safety through the implementation of safety policies, driver safety training, and maintenance programs.

By providing resources and tools to truckers and motor carriers, the MCD is helping to ensure that Utah’s roads remain safe and efficient. With its commitment to safety and education, the Utah Motor Carrier Division is playing a vital role in keeping Utah's economy strong and its citizens safe.
