How to become US mail contractor ?

My cousin knows the answer. I know you need a minimum of two tractors.

 

Yea and get the bid for the contract that comes up. Alot of the bigger guys that have had those contracts seem to some how get them every bid time

 

Someone I know does it: she said current contract holder gets preference for renewal vs new contractor.

I don't know much else...least nothing else comes to mind at the moment lol

 

Been there, done that. It is much like being a private E-1 in the military during basic training, and everyone who outranks you, will constantly remind you that they outrank you.
Yes, I can give numerous examples and scenarios to back up what I say, but I'd need to find a publisher to print my new "book".
A new driver trainee for Swift gets more respect than a US Mail contractor.......REALLY !

To protect my friends and family who are lifers in that niche, I will not disclose how to get in (sorry that doesn't answer your question), but refer to the previous 2 posts, put it in ALL CAPS, and believe it !!

 

Hire a handicapped minority female as your company president (the holy grail of government contracting, a triple minority) would be a good start. Said only half jokingly unfortunately.

 

Hi Dave,
I live in Southern California and I have registered on the USPS ESourcing web page and I'm waiting "to be invited by a contracting officer to bid on projects." In the meantime do you have any advice of what I can do to speed up the process or push forward a little more? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'll ask my cousin. He's pulling mail now, and wants to be a contractor, he told me the deal on two tractor minimum.

 

Hey thanks for the help. My wife has 51% ownership of the company and she is from Argentina making her a minority. She speaks English at 85%. I also registered as having 2 tractors and a bobtail.
I will appreciate any help, my personal email is torquecargo@gmail.com.

 

Hey Dave, were you able to speak with your cousin? Also what kind of route does he have? Local/OTR-Long distance? Any info can help me right now.
Thank you.
Mike
