A common carrier and a warehouser are both types of businesses involved in transportation and logistics, but they serve different functions.
A common carrier is a company that offers transportation services to the general public or businesses. They are responsible for transporting goods or passengers from one location to another. Common carriers provide services like shipping packages, delivering goods, or offering passenger transportation. They typically operate on predetermined routes and schedules, and they are legally obligated to provide their services to anyone who requests them, as long as the terms and conditions are met.
On the other hand, a warehouser is a business that provides storage and management services for goods. Warehousers receive, store, and safeguard products on behalf of their clients.
