Government contracts for trucking & hauling

Government contracts for trucking & hauling span every level of public buying, from federal task orders down to county and municipal awards. At the federal level the work is concentrated under NAICS 484220 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Local), with related work under 484110 (General Freight Trucking, Local) and 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), and the most active customers are DoD installations, the U.S. Postal Service, GSA logistics offices, and state Departments of Transportation. The same buyer mix repeats year after year, which makes trucking and hauling contractors a relatively predictable category to bid into once you know where the recurring spend lives.

Across the federal, state, and local sources ContractRadar tracks, there are 159 open trucking & hauling contracts currently posting across 32 states, with 136 added in the last 30 days. That's a steady national cadence — enough flow that automated alerting outperforms manual portal-checking even if you only chase work in two or three states. Nationally, the most active buyers of this work are DEPT OF THE ARMY (15 open posts) and Procurement (6); the remainder splits across federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments.

Hauling and freight work is heavily small-business set-aside, and many state DOT hauling solicitations are reserved for DBE-certified or locally based operators, keeping single-truck and small-fleet owner-operators competitive. Beyond federal posts, every state runs its own procurement program with separate registration, certification, and bid-board rules — ContractRadar pulls SAM.gov together with state and local feeds so a trucking and hauling contractor can monitor every market from one inbox instead of logging into a dozen portals each morning.
