A carrier is a company or individual that transports goods, cargo, or passengers from one point to another via truck, rail, air, or sea, typically under a contract of carriage.
A trucking company that picks up finished goods from a manufacturer's warehouse and delivers them to a distribution center is acting as a carrier.

A carrier physically transports the goods, while a freight broker acts as an intermediary that arranges transportation services between shippers and carriers.
Examples include trucking carriers (FTL/LTL), air cargo carriers, ocean shipping lines, and rail freight carriers.
Shippers typically evaluate carriers based on factors like service reliability, coverage areas, transit times, cost, and compliance with safety regulations.
