Delivery to Blaine WA

@Bill Robinson yes there are many towns like Blaine all across the border that act as receiving warehouses for Canadian Consumers. It’s easier and less costly to just self clear their purchases across the border. The “professionals” own motor homes towing cargo trailers. lol There were a lot of “Pros” in Blaine yesterday 😂
Are small businesses missing bigger opportunities?
Many small businesses miss out on bigger opportunities because they think contracts are too complex or out of reach. But in reality, some are designed for smaller businesses and first-time applicants. The challenge is usually not knowing where to start. Curious is this something anyone here has explored before? #smallbusiness #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #Opportunities #Startups #BusinessTips #governmentcontract #businessfunding

I have a 10 year IDIQ Government contract and a few project logistics government services contracts that has helped us survive the freight recession over the last 2 years. I always encourage smaller businesses to pursue these opportunities. They have been a big part of my 3PLs business. I’m a veteran and most of my employees on my gov/mil contracts are veterans and we are proud of the work we do supporting the military.

@Robert Mitchell I was fortunate in that we worked as a subcontractor for a Government general contractor first. Then both the contractor and government agency we were working with helped us get setup for direct contracting.
Delilahs Law
The House Committee moved through HR 7793 a Resolution called Delilahs law. One surprising thing that was included into this Bill is section 7 which prohibits the use of "Foreign Dispatch" Services. A Carrier could be fined up to $50,000 for use of these services if this resolution is passed. The interesting thing is dispatching is not a regulated part of the trucking industry, unlike brokers who are. Many American companies over the last decade have embraced the use of foreign BPO services. How do you think the government will differentiate between a "dispatcher" and "back office support" when it comes to carrier management services?

@Bill Robinson I know the problem, and it is a huge problem. I think what I’m trying to wrap my head around is what are they calling “foreign dispatch” If Someone in another country accesses a us loadboard like DAT finds your MC a load and then asks you if you want to take it or not. You say yes. They collect all paperwork BCA and Rate Load Con Didn’t they just provide back office support and you just dispatched yourself? Won’t that be the argument to avoid the penalty? lol

@Ed Burns that’s the issue. What defines a “foreign dispatch”? I understand the issue they are trying to attack but without a definitive explanation of the role, how do you fix the problem?
Resume tips
For front-end developers, a visually appealing portfolio isn't enough, it must clearly demonstrate impact and value. Recruiters and hiring managers look for more than UI skills. They want evidence of: - Improved user experience and conversion rates - Leadership in design-to-code collaboration - Innovative solutions that enhanced performance or accessibility - Contributions to open-source or community projects For example, instead of: "Created responsive web pages." Try: "Optimized CSS and React components, boosting page speed by 25% and improving mobile conversions by 15%." A strong front-end resume should balance technical skill with strategic results. If you’re unsure your resume reflects that, I’m happy to help optimize it for clarity, credibility, and results. Let’s make sure your next opportunity sees your full value.

From Zero to First Contract: My Government Contracting Breakthrough”
I still remember the moment I decided to take government contracting seriously it felt overwhelming at first, like stepping into a world with too many rules and not enough guidance. But I knew one thing: if others could win contracts, so could I. So I started small. I made sure my business was properly registered, got listed on SAM.gov, and created a clean, professional capability statement that clearly showed what I could do and who I could serve. Instead of chasing every opportunity, I focused on contracts that actually matched my services. I read the requirements carefully more than once and made sure my proposal spoke directly to what the agency needed, not just what I wanted to offer. The opportunity that changed everything wasn’t a huge contract. In fact, many people would have overlooked it. But I saw it as my entry point. I took my time to submit a well-structured, compliant, and simple proposal. No fluff jjust value, clarity, and proof that I could deliver. Then came the waiting. When I got the award notice, it didn’t feel real at first. But that one contract changed everything. It gave me credibility, confidence, and something even more important past performance. What I’ve learned is this: your first win isn’t about luck, it’s about positioning. Get your foundation right, tailor every proposal, and don’t ignore smaller opportunities—they often open the biggest doors. Now, I help others do the same whether it’s setting up their registrations, crafting strong capability statements, or guiding them through proposals. Because once you win your first contract, everything starts to shift. What stage are you at right now just starting, or already submitting bids?

I have been involved in a number of Government Contracts. I am in the Final Year of a 10 Year IDIQ (Open PO) contract that has been so beneficial for my company. As the general Freight Market has been in a recession the last couple of years, its been my government contracting work that has kept us moving forward. Great point about the importance of your capability statement and focusing small on what your company can fulfill and can't. Very important.
