What does the qualification of a non-truck operating carrier mean?
1 Answers
"Non-truck operating carrier" refers to individuals or entities engaged in cargo transportation without owning vehicles. A "non-truck operating carrier" has a dual identity: for the actual shipper, it acts as the carrier; but for the actual carrier, it serves as the shipper. The "non-truck operating carrier" does not engage in specific transportation operations but focuses on transportation organization, cargo distribution, selection of transportation methods and routes. Its income mainly comes from the freight rate difference generated by large-scale "wholesale" transportation. The service targets of non-truck operating carriers include: 1. Upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain: Primarily industrial and commercial enterprises that generate actual freight demands to meet their own production and operational needs. As the shippers in the logistics operation process, they are the main service targets of non-truck operating carrier platforms. 2. Transportation and warehousing enterprises: The actual executors of the logistics process, playing the role of carriers in the logistics process, are the main targets for non-truck operating platforms to optimize and integrate transportation capacity. 3. Logistics facility operating enterprises: Including railway, waterway, and air freight terminals, highway logistics parks, and urban distribution centers. As key nodes in the logistics network, they play a connecting and resource-gathering role throughout the transportation process, serving as entry points for the business marketing of non-truck operating platforms.
