private carrier

**private carrier**

A **private carrier** refers to a transportation service or company that operates vehicles exclusively for the use of a specific organization or individual, rather than offering services to the general public. These carriers typically manage their own fleet of trucks, ships, or aircraft to transport goods or passengers internally or to select clients, providing greater control over schedules, routes, and cargo handling. Private carriers are commonly used by businesses that require specialized logistics solutions, secure shipments, or cost efficiencies through direct management of their transportation needs.
