Drop Carrier

A drop carrier is a type of transportation provider that is hired by a shipping company to pick up and transport cargo from one location to another. Unlike a traditional carrier, a drop carrier does not own its own fleet of trucks or equipment but instead relies on a network of third-party carriers to handle the transportation of goods. The drop carrier’s role is to act as a middleman between the shipper and the third-party carriers, coordinating the pickup and delivery of the cargo and ensuring that it arrives at its destination on time.
