That's private carriage. Both POI's said just make sure you have a contract. If however you start letting it be known around the airport that you're available to fly whatever, whenever, or it appears that you are through your flight activity, or you start ending up with a lot of clients, now you are holding out and subject to part 135.
Great discussion guys. Just wanted to get some clarification with WEACLRS' statement.

If I were a commercial pilot, owned a Chieftain, and wanted to engage in private carriage of cargo only with no more than 3 contracts. Is it legal for me to offer the transportation to 3 selected (by me; I'd seek the customers) companies? or would that be considered holding out?

Thanks
