Members of the Los Angeles City Contract Truck Association, which represents more than 100 minority-owned independent truckers, are urging city officials to renew contracts for its As-Needed Haul Truck Program.
Nearly 100 independent truckers and their families took to the streets of downtown Los Angeles, urging city officials to renew contracts for its As-Needed Haul Truck Program.
The city's As-Needed Haul Truck Program is a program in the Bureau of Street Services, or StreetsLA, that dates back to the 1890s. StreetsLA has since retained a list of "qualified and ready-to-work independent owner operators" for short-term and long-term hauling projects. "We do the streets, we do asphalt, grinding, so we build the streets, so if we don't work, you guys aren't going to have streets," said trucker Viken Mardirossian.
