Intermodal Freight Shipping to Fort Plain, NY
Anyone who owns or is employed in the supply chain industry or courier service companies understands the importance of road freight transport and shipping. They would also know how costly it can be, so they are always searching for cheaper options to get their goods delivered. The two options that provide cheaper alternatives are full truckload shipping and less than truckload shipping
A truck driver must know the type of freight they are transporting and whether that freight is interstate or intrastate. It can be hard to differentiate between the two types of freight, but we're here to help!
Intrastate and interstate significantly impact the types of loads you can transport and the equipment you need. Even though it's easier to start by only hauling intrastate, you'll have fewer options for loads and, as a result, less money to spend.
Most independent owner-operators and small fleets should begin with an interstate trucking company because it gives them more options and improves their success.
Aside from the fact that they're different, Interstate and Intrastate have separate functions that must be distinguished from one another.
Major highways and freeways that span state borders are referred to as interstate. Dwight D. Eisenhower created the national highway system in 1956, which includes the interstates. Intrastate highways, on the other hand, don't cross state lines.
