Government contracts for trucking & hauling in California

Trucking & hauling contracts in California typically cover dump-truck and aggregate hauling for road and public-works projects, equipment and heavy-machinery transport, freight deliveries between agency facilities, courier and box-truck delivery routes, and on-call hourly hauling IDIQs. Federal posts in this category fall 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 bulk of the work flows to DoD installations, the U.S. Postal Service, GSA logistics offices, and state Departments of Transportation. 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.

California currently has 12 open trucking & hauling contracts in our database, with 10 added in the last 30 days. That's a steady cadence — enough flow to make automated alerting worthwhile rather than manual portal-checking. The most active buyers are Department of Water Resources (2 open posts) and Los Angeles County (2), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in California.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the trucking & hauling work in California is posted through Cal eProcure, with recurring buyers including Caltrans, the University of California system, the California Department of General Services, and the City and County of Los Angeles. California's SB/DVBE certification programs reserve a target share of state spend for certified small and disabled-veteran-owned firms — getting certified is usually step one. ContractRadar pulls federal postings from SAM.gov alongside state and local feeds so a trucking and hauling contractor doesn't have to monitor each portal manually.
