Contract carrier

Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-000943

A transportation company that provides for-hire truck services to a limited number of shippers through specific, ongoing agreements. Unlike a common carrier that must serve the general public, a contract carrier can choose its customers and dedicate equipment and drivers to them. These arrangements are governed by the terms negotiated in the contract, which detail the rates, routes, and types of cargo to be hauled.
