Default trucking information

I have a few questions maybe someone on here could help me with.

first..I need names of all the cattle dispatch companies anyone can come up with. I may need to make a change.

second...Does anyone on here know how to get a government contract to haul their goods?

Thank you

i was a GSA contractor years ago. you get onto a "bid list" then from there you select what you are going to bid on in your area.

i thought you wanted ideas on cattle hauling/GSA accounts, you weren't specific in your request, that's why i did some "googling" for you..........

with GSA accounts, they will have the spec's on what needs to get done. i think they once had guidelines as to rates, but i am not sure of that anymore.

remember though, you bid $1.99 per mile, someone bids $1.98, they get the contract......then too, many times (not all) the bids go to "returning" contractors, because they are proven, you wouldn't be proven yet.......

you need to get onto the list, jump through hoops just to be put on "hold"....

this i do not know....

they MAY HAVE guide lines, but remember, bidding takes place. the low bid wins.

the government doesn't want you to sell(operate) at below your cost.........but, they will not pay you more than the guy bidding 1 penny lower than you...
