Carrier

A carrier is an entity or individual responsible for the transportation of goods or passengers from one location to another. In the context of shipping and logistics, carriers can be companies that own and operate vehicles such as trucks, ships, planes, or trains. They may provide services for freight transportation, mail delivery, or the conveyance of passengers. Additionally, in telecommunications, a carrier refers to a service provider that offers communication services over a network, including voice, data, and internet services. The term can also be used in health, where a carrier refers to an individual who holds and can transmit a genetic trait or disease, often without showing symptoms themselves. Overall, the common thread is the concept of carrying or facilitating the transfer of something from one place to another.
