Perhaps you can imagine how much cargo is shipped into (and maybe out-of) government facilities - county, state and federal. The U.S. government is the biggest spender when it comes to purchasing commodities of all sorts.
Are there opportunities for freight brokers or trucking companies? Most likely, yes.
You might have a local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) office in your local area. Check out this map: http://www.aptac-us.org/new/Govt_Contracting/find.php
These PTAC centers are federally funded organizations and will help you get properly registered and more.
Be cautious of "official" looking websites that are most likely legit - but they may be selling you services that you can get free through these PTAC centers.
There will be more blog posts on government contracting opportunities and pershaps some additional services to freight broker training may be offered in the near future.
