Which type of carrier accepts without discrimination all legal cargoes of a shipper?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Common.
A common carrier is a type of transportation company that accepts without discrimination all legal cargoes offered by a shipper. Common carriers, such as freight trains, airlines, and shipping lines, are required by law to transport goods for any customer who pays the established tariff or rate, regardless of the nature of the cargo. This is in contrast to private, industrial, or tramp carriers, which may have more selective criteria for the types of cargo they will transport.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) Private carriers only transport their own goods, not those of third-party shippers.
C) Industrial carriers typically only transport goods related to a specific industry or company.
D) Tramp carriers operate on an irregular schedule and may not accept all legal cargoes.
