These services involve moving large shipments of commercial goods, equipment, and materials using tractor-trailer configurations, typically for businesses and government agencies requiring full truckload transportation. The service providers utilize commercial trucks capable of handling substantial weight and volume, operating across state and regional boundaries to fulfill logistical requirements.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate significant diversity, with contract values ranging from approximately $4,000 to $650,000 and durations typically spanning several months to multiple years. Key funding agencies include the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, and Department of Justice, with frequent contractors including Landstar Ranger, Inc., Fuso Land Transport Co., Ltd., Maruzen Showa Unyu Co., Ltd., and various small businesses. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, often supporting military exercises, equipment transportation, and logistical support. While many contracts have no specific set-aside, a notable portion are designated for small businesses, woman-owned businesses, and minority-owned enterprises. Performance locations span both domestic and international settings, with significant activity in Japan supporting U.S. military operations.

Recent federal contract opportunities include a Bureau of Indian Affairs solicitation for truck rental targeting Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sources sought notice for emergency transportation services.
