What a common carrier does in logistics

Epes recognizes a common carrier as a business or person, both private or public, that offers its services to the general public and conveys commodities, freight, or cargo for a price. In common carriage, many third-party carriers move freight on an as-necessary and transactional basis. Any vehicle that transports merchandise from point A to point B is considered a common carrier, albeit depending on the mode of transportation, regulatory compliance may be necessary.
