What is a Carrier Company?

A Carrier Company refers to the organization that a carrier works for. In Opendock, the term "carrier" is used broadly to describe any external scheduler, including vendors, suppliers, brokers, truck drivers, and more. You can also track other company names that may not fit directly into the "carrier" category.
