Even though the regulations are different for interstate and intrastate commercial drivers, there are still some ways in which they are similar. After all, the goal of creating these laws and regulations has always been to ensure safe operating procedures. Some requirements are the same across the board for inter and intrastate operations regardless of where a truck does business.
Requirements that all trucking companies have to abide by include:
• CDL requirements
• Insurance coverage for commercial trucks
• Drug and alcohol testing
• Transporting hazardous materials
• Driver qualifications
