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.

Here is everything you need to know about the differences between interstate and intrastate:

Truckers play a critical role in the economy of the United States. The trucking business employs about 6% of all full-time workers in the United States and transports 71% of all freight.

The industry generates one hundred billion dollars in annual income. It connects producers and consumers of everything from gallons of petroleum to milk to a key lifeline.

Transporters use different modes of freight transport to keep the costs low and deliver the goods from the shipper to the consignee in the most efficient way. One mode of freight transport is Intermodal Freight Transport. This is when the goods are transported in an intermodal container allowing the transporters to change transportation mediums between trucks, ships, and trains without handling the freight itself.

Intermodal freight transport protects goods from damage and fastens the delivery by saving the time between container changes. Let's take a deeper look into Intermodal Freight Transport.
