Dedicated Contract Carriage :

What does this term stand for?

 Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) is a transportation service model in which a third-party logistics provider (3PL) supplies a dedicated fleet of vehicles and drivers exclusively for a single customer under a long-term contractual agreement. Unlike standard for-hire trucking services where carriers serve multiple clients, DCC arrangements allocate specific equipment, personnel, and operational resources to meet one shipper’s unique transportation requirements. The logistics provider assumes responsibility for fleet management, driver recruitment and retention, vehicle maintenance, regulatory compliance, and day-to-day transportation operations, while the customer retains control over routing, scheduling, and service standards.
