(c)Non-excepted intrastate. That he operates only in intrastate commerce and therefore is subject to state driver qualification requirements.
(d)Excepted intrastate. That he operates in intrastate commerce but engages exclusively in transportation or operations excepted from state driver qualification requirements.
