Common carrier

Imagine you want something to be delivered from one place to another but you can't do it yourself, maybe because it's too far away. A common carrier is a company or person that you can hire to do this for you. They have special permission from the government to move things or people from one place to another for a fee.

So, if you want to send a package to your friend who lives far away, you can go to the post office or a courier company like FedEx or UPS. These companies are common carriers because they are licensed to transport goods from one place to another.

Common carriers have to follow specific rules and regulations to ensure that the things they transport reach their destination safely and on time. They also have to be fair to everyone and cannot refuse to transport something just because they don't like it or the person who wants it delivered.

Imagine if you went to the post office to send a letter, but the person at the counter said they wouldn't send it because they didn't like what was written in it. That wouldn't be fair, would it? That's why common carriers have to be fair to everyone and can't refuse to provide their services without a good reason.

In summary, a common carrier is a company or person that you can hire to transport things or people from one place to another for a fee. They have to follow specific rules and regulations and can't refuse to provide their services without a good reason.
