NAICS Codes
for Truckers
NAICS codes determine which federal contracts you can bid on. Choose the wrong codes and you'll miss contracts you qualify for.
The federal government uses NAICS codes to match your capabilities to contract opportunities. If your code isn't registered, you won't appear in their search.
