Intrastate permits

And it can be asked 48 different ways..My understanding is a state can ask any carrier for a permit..intra or inter does not matter..But the question is "why do you need a permit" if you have interstate authority for all states you can run in each state..but if your doing other things outside of your authority then you must be permmitted..ie oversize,weight,height things like that.

 

You'll probably get away with it for a long time, but technically required:

Hauling an intrastate load also may create tax nexus, meaning you may have to file an income tax return for that state even if you otherwise are exempt from multi-state returns under the Amtrak Act

 

Your good, you can haul loads from dallas to el paso and back all year long and never leave the state of the texas.on your interstate authority ..this I am 100% sure about.

 

TX will hammer you for it if caught. There are a few that still require intrastate to operate. Most don't.

 

Texas has no income tax, so no nexus, but they do require intrastate authority for runs like you describe (99% of people get away with not having the proper permit):

Here are the states that enforce:

 

Depending on the company stucture TX does have an tax.

 

Sorry, yes, I'm assuming Sole Proprietorship. Corporations do not qualify as an "interstate transportation worker" so they are not covered under the Amtrak Act and are supposed to file returns anyway...
