A quick definition of carrier:
Term: Carrier
Definition: A carrier is someone who transports people or things for money using any type of vehicle (like a car, boat, plane, or pipeline). There are two kinds of carriers: common carriers and private carriers. Common carriers have to take anyone who wants to pay them and are responsible if anything gets lost or someone gets hurt during the trip. Private carriers can choose whether or not to take a job.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A carrier is a person or company that transports people or goods for payment using any mode of transportation such as land, water, air, or pipeline. There are two types of carriers: common carriers and private carriers.
Examples:
- Airlines that transport passengers and cargo
- Trucking companies that deliver goods
- Shipping companies that transport goods by sea
- Pipeline companies that transport oil and gas
The examples illustrate the definition of a carrier because they all involve the transportation of people or goods for payment.
