     So what is   "INTERSTATE COMMERCE?"
Commerce between any place in a State and any place outside of that State, or within any possession of the United States (not including the Canal Zone) or the District of Columbia, and commerce between places within the same State but through any place outside of that State.

Interstate vs. Intrastate Motor Carriers

Many people confuse the two words interstate and intrastate on a daily basis, there is clearly, a big difference in the definition of the two, and there is quite a bit of depth to their meaning when it comes to the appropriate certification for each commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in a commercial fleet. Each CMV must be insured at $1,500.00.00 for 1 to 14 passengers, $5,000.000.00 16 and more passengers. The term Intrastate means that the passengers on any type of CMV will be staying within the bounds of the state it originates from, for example a passenger is picked up from a residence in Aurora, Colorado and is delivered to Englewood, Colorado. The CMV never left the state of Colorado.

Interstate means that if a passenger requests a pick up at Denver International Airport that was prearranged transportation by a Company or person outside of Colorado or via the internet from outside of Colorado, and is destined is inside of Colorado. This service is Interstate commerce.  In addition any CMV that will be crossing any state lines in order to deliver a passenger is Interstate commerce.

Remember the Interstate (US DOT) vs. Intrastate (Colorado PUC) CMV carriers have to look at two different authorities when trying to discern the definitions of each.  If you offer "Worldwide Service" or if payment is sent from out of state or have a "Toll Free" phone number or are listed on an Airport web site with your toll free number or by offering any services out of Colorado you're most likely engaged in Interstate commerce.
