Answer Details

The obligation that is not typically required of a common carrier is insuring goods in transit. Common carriers are companies or individuals that transport goods or people for hire and are subject to specific legal obligations. These obligations generally include carrying goods safely and securely, delivering them to the appropriate location, and being liable for any losses or damages that may occur during transport. Additionally, common carriers are required to follow agreed-upon routes, which may be designated by the shipper or by law. However, insurance is not typically included as an obligation of common carriers, although some may choose to offer it as an additional service.
