For-Hire Carriers (FHC)

For-Hire carriers are transportation service providers that offer their services to the public on a fee basis. In trucking and logistics, a for-hire carrier is a company paid to transport goods from one location to another. These carriers typically provide trucking or shipping services and may specialize in specific types of freight, such as refrigerated goods or hazardous materials. The carrier operates under a contract or agreement with a shipper or consignee. For-hire carriers are regulated by the federal government and must meet certain safety and insurance requirements.
