WHAT IS INTRASTATE COMMERCE?
Transportation of property (a commodity) where the point of origin and destination are totally within one state and no state line or
international boundary is crossed. The driver does not cross state lines or international boundaries when operating a commercial
vehicle.
The Bill of Lading will be an indicator as to whether a shipment or commodity is interstate or intrastate. Transporting cargo that
always came from and stays within the state of Texas is considered intrastate cargo.
If there is no Bill of Lading, the origin and destination of the shipment will be an indicator.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
School bus drivers who only transport passengers within Texas.
Drivers who only transport and deliver goods to and originate from Texas addresses.
