Understanding the difference between interstate and intrastate operations is important for maintaining accurate transportation records.
One of the most common questions among motor carriers concerns operational classification.
Interstate operations generally involve transportation across state lines or transportation that is part of interstate commerce.
Intrastate operations occur entirely within a single state.
Understanding the distinction helps ensure that information associated with transportation records remains accurate.
Operational classifications should be reviewed periodically to ensure they continue to reflect actual business activities.
