freight carrier
Goods moving vehicle
A freight carrier is a company or vehicle that transports goods commercially.
The term covers trucking companies, railroads, shipping lines, and air cargo services.
In legal and business contexts, freight carriers are classified by what they haul and who they serve: common carriers accept goods from any customer, while contract carriers work under specific agreements.
