"Not For Hire" is put on trucks that are 'as a rule' used for buiseness' i.E. dump trucks, Wreckers, Utility trucks. Insurance co.'s require "Not For Hire" to be visible on the truck if it is not used as a buiseness. Also some states may require it as well.

It means that vehicle is not for sale at that time for doing what it can at that time ie. a tow truck with that would mean that that tow truck in not available to you at that time. You cannot use it services.

Actually, a 'for hire' carrier transports good for a fee and is available to transport goods for the general public.

"not for hire" or "Private carrier" on a truck of bus means that the truck transports products that belong to the owner of the truck and the services of the truck are not available to the public. A 'private carrier' needs one group of permits and operating authorities in the US and a 'for hire' or 'common or contract' carrier requires different permits and authorities.

If I make chairs and deliver them to my customers, I am a 'private' or 'not for hire' carrier. as a 'private carrier', I am only allowed to haul my own product. If I haul chairs for a company that makes them to their customers, I am a 'for hire' or 'contract' carrier....
