carrying for hire

Read a random definition: devisable

A quick definition of carrying for hire:

Carrying for hire: When someone gets paid to take people or things from one place to another, it's called carrying for hire. This can include things like driving a taxi or delivering packages. When someone is carrying for hire, they have to follow certain rules and be more careful than if they were just giving someone a ride for free.

A more thorough explanation:

Carrying for hire

Carrying for hire refers to the act of transporting people or goods in exchange for payment. This can include services such as taxi rides, package delivery, or moving services. When someone is carrying for hire, they are held to higher legal standards than someone who is simply giving a friend a ride.

  • A taxi driver who picks up passengers and charges them a fare is carrying for hire.
  • A moving company that transports furniture and belongings from one home to another for a fee is carrying for hire.
  • A friend who offers to drive you to the airport for free is not carrying for hire.

The examples illustrate the definition by showing situations where someone is providing a service in exchange for payment. In these cases, the person providing the service is responsible for ensuring the safety of their passengers or goods, and may be held liable if something goes wrong. This is why there are higher legal standards for carrying for hire than for casual transportation.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
