Q: What is the difference between a Common Carrier, Contract Carrier and Brokerage?
A: Common carriers provide for-hire truck transportation to the general public. Common carriers must file both liability insurance and cargo insurance. Contract carriers provide for-hire truck transportation to specific, individual shippers, based on contracts. Contract carriers must file only liability insurance. Brokers arrange for the truck transportation of cargo belonging to others, for compensation, using for-hire carriers to provide the actual truck transportation. Brokers must file either a surety bond or trust fund agreement.
