Ways to get around NC workers compensation requirements

Hi guys. I am writing to find out if anyone has info on a way to get around North Carolina's high worker's compensation requirements for owner operators?
I am an owner/driver for Fedex Custom Critical and I want to move to North Carolina, but the worker's comp here is insanely high. They would require that I give up 5.2%? of my gross pay per driver for worker's comp. Say I did $1,000 load and the truck has two drivers, me and my wife, that means $104 would go for worker's comp on that one load. That's a huge difference compared to what I currently am paying, which is $25.25 per driver per week.

I am wondering if there are some kind of special rules that apply for self-employed owner/operators that do not have any employees and operates interstate.

 

Wrong, I'm asking if there are exceptions for self-employed owner/operators that run interstate but have residency in NC. The NC worker's comp requirements that Fedex told me seem unfair and I am just checking if there are some kind of exceptions to this requirement for O/P truckers.

 

I want to move there because of friends and relatives, not because of better freight lines. Actually, freight lines are better for me the more north I am.

 

No worries. Thanks for pointing that out, I have edited the post to clarify my question.
