Is there a list of States that require intrastate commerce permits?

It has nothing to do with the driver's license. It is a business permit (business license) for the carrier to be able to move freight entirely within the state in question.

It is the same principle--cabotage--that applies to international freight movements. As a Canadian, I can deliver freight to, or from the U.S., but I cannot deliver freight from point-to-point within the U.S. Likewise an American has to abide by the same rules in Canada. It is to protect the jobs associated with the domestic movement of freight.

So, some states have determined that in order to deliver freight from point-to-point within their state the carrier must have a permit to do so.

 

We keep CA and TX intrastate authority. Just by nature of the size of those two states, it is more likely that we will have intrastate loads there. We have never had the issue come up anywhere else.

State hazmat permits are another obscure issue: We have CA, ID, CO, and the Alliance for Hazmat states (OH, WI, MI, etc)

 

Al. requires an intrastate number as well. An APSC #.
