Each trip made in a commercial motor vehicle can be classified as either intrastate or interstate commerce depending on the destination of the cargo being transported. Interstate commerce is subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCRs) and the Hazardous Material Regulations (HMRs) as well as to State laws and regulations. Intrastate commerce is subject to the FMCSRs that have been adopted by the States or to State laws that are 'compatible' with the FMCSRs; that is, State laws that are identical to or have the same effect as the FMCSRs. States adopt the FMCRs as a condition of receiving financial assistance from the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. A limited number of variances related to safety are permitted for drivers and vehicles operating in intrastate commerce; these include a lower driver age, relaxed medical qualifications, expanded hours of service, exemption of specific commodities from some safety regulations, and exemption of some vehicle from vehicle safety regulations.
