Contract carrier


[Transportation management system and freight rates]
If today's railroads are a representative transportation facility that combines the three elements of transportation to produce comprehensive transportation services, today's expressways (toll roads) are typical passage companies, and the maritime, air, and automobile transportation industries are typical transportation industries that produce transportation services in the narrow sense. These transportation industries in the narrow sense are generally classified into three types of management: private carriers, contract carriers, and public carriers. Private carriers are so-called personal transportation, and in this case, transportation costs are incurred, but there is no fare as a transportation price.
