Intrastate Trucking - you must know this stuff! Brokers/Shipper: You could be missing out on capacity - check out intrastate carriers and better understand what that means when hiring these carriers. (and how to vet them) Carriers: one trap you must know--if you move a shipment within a state (you don’t cross state lines) and you don’t have authority with that state, you can get a nasty fine. Rick Malchow, a specialist in motor carrier safety and operations and an Editor with JJ Keller, teaches us everything we need to know.
