    The great state of MN is requiring us to send in a copy of our medical card or our cdl will be suspended. On the app I have to state whether I'm Non-exempt interstate or Non-exempt intrastate. I'm assuming intrastate means I cross state lines? I'm not positive on the definition of these terms and I don't want any hassle with it.

    Thanks

    INTRA means you stay in one state. INTER means you cross state lines.

    Don't think about it brother, call them and find out... It was a major pain in the keester for me once my license was suspended and not to mention I have to pay a lawyer to get it dropped. Just call them...

    We can bring ours in to the dmv or mail a copy.

    I wonder how many millions of our dollars they are wasting on this program???

    Or, how many drivers will find out that their license is suspended, and didn't even know. I take full responsibility for my situation but, so many out there that don't have a clue to what we are talking about.

    Same thing here in WA,and you have to be interstate not intrastate even if you never leave your state but what you haul does.
    For instance a log truck driver here in WA that may not ever leave the state hauls a load down to the port of Longview and the logs are export logs getting loaded on a ship, because the logs are export he has to be interstate.
