I think the distinction is between "common carrier" vs. a licensed hazardous materials carrier. A licensed haz mat transporter pays a license fee and is subject to more liability insurance, drug testing, placarding and a host of other regulations to ensure
safety. I got this all from USDOT's website.
<div>
<ul style="font-size: 12pt;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Common carriers provide for-hire truck transportation to the general public. Common carriers must file liability (BI&PD) insurance but are not required to file cargo insurance.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The definition of an "authorized for-hire " carrier is a person or company that provides transportation of cargo or passengers for compensation. If you are a for-hire carrier, in addition to the USDOT Number you will also
need to obtain Operating Authority (MC Number).</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Contract carriers provide for-hire truck transportation to specific, individual shippers based on contracts. Contract carriers must file liability (BI&PD) insurance but are
not required to file cargo insurance.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Both common and contract motor carriers of household goods are required to file liability (BI&PD) insurance and cargo insurance.</span></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the DEA’s proposed controlled substances regs did not define “common carrier,” has anyone found a U.S. DOT or related definition that could be referenced?
