Private Carrier
A private carrier is a company or organization that transports goods or passengers for its own use or for specific clients, rather than offering transportation services to the general public. Unlike commercial transport providers that operate for profit and serve multiple customers, private carriers typically have dedicated vehicles and routes tailored to their own needs, such as a company's fleet delivering products to their stores. They are governed by transportation regulations but focus on internal or contracted logistics, ensuring secure, efficient movement of their specific cargo or personnel.
