Interstate vs Intrastate | Its a Big Difference So What are You Needing in Your Company?

This video explores the crucial differences between intrastate and interstate trucking. Interstate trucking focuses on driving a commercial motor vehicle across state lines. Or, driving a vehicle from a state into a foreign country like Canada or Mexico. When you leave your base state and go into another state or country, you're taking part in interstate commerce because you crossed state lines using your commercial truck.

Intrastate trucking is the opposite of interstate trucking. Through intrastate trucking, you are only operating your commercial vehicle within the official boundaries of your base state. Thus, your final destination has to be in the same state where the freight or goods originated.

Here is an example of both intrastate and interstate trucking. Say that your trucking company is headquartered in Sacramento, California and you load sheet metal in your truck and drop off the goods in Los Angeles. Because you did not cross state lines outside of California, you have taken part in intrastate commerce. But if you had dropped off the sheet metal in Reno, Nevada, you would have participated in interstate commerce due to leaving your base state.

If a driver or trucking company violates interstate or intrastate commerce rules, the FMCSA can apply big-time fines and penalties. That is why you must pay close attention to all federal and state trucking policies. Otherwise, you are taking a major risk whenever you get behind the wheel.
