Government doors for hotshot work
47 named doors. Checked November 2026.
Governments do not hand out hauling at a counter. They buy it through bid doors — vendor registrations, purchasing portals, DOT letting pages and surplus sales. Register once, pick the trucking and hauling codes, and the posted work comes to you. These are the doors for the states in the book, named as the governments name them.
