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?

@John Radvansky exactly right.

@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
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.
Freight Skool Activity
Since our goal is to create an Active Community of Professionals that help each other Educate and Inform about important topics regarding Freight Transportation Logistics it is time once again to purge our membership. We will be eliminating memberships of those that don’t show activity in the group. It’s better to have a small group of members who are active and share value or get value from Freight Skool than have a bunch of members who only enter to see what they can get. I want to thank everyone who have become members of Freight Skool and continue to participate in our community. If you have not been on in a while this email is a nudge to get you back in. On Tuesday March 31 all accounts with no activity over the last 30 days will be purged (churned) from the group. So get on and get active. We hope to see you post or comment in the near future. Thank you everyone for making the Freight Skool community the #1 Freight Logistics community on the Skool Platform!

FMCSA article regarding authority.
Hey Everyone, What are your thoughts on the article published by the FMCSA on Friday regarding the buying or leasing of mature authority? I’ve always been curious about how that process actually works, and it’s also been a concern of mine that someone could potentially use an authority without the owner’s knowledge. I’d be interested in hearing everyone’s perspective on this.

People do use other people’s authority without their knowledge but the bigger threat to freight logistics are those that “rent out” their authority to get a load covered. Many don’t understand DOT and MC authority is a license. The fraudsters in the industry “rent out” their license and this is where the double brokers and paper authority culture thrives. The FMCSA is just reiterating that this practice is not legal and need to stop and hopefully they put a lot of enforcement into this.

@Tracon Porter need more owner operators like you. Most do it and take the money but then complain when things dont go as planned. Which is most likely what happens to them. The crazy thing is it’s can be harmful to both sides! So that’s why when somebody is easily offering for you to run under their license it’s usually fraudulent because they don’t care you might be the one who ruins their license. That’s how you know.
