ABBOTSFORD — Traffic has been bumper-to-bumper on parts of Lower Mainland roads after dump truck drivers organized a slow-moving convoy from Abbotsford to Vancouver this morning (Sept. 25).

A poster from the public Facebook group “Dump Truck Life in Vancouver, BC Canada” said the route will be running from Highway 1 in Abbotsford to Hastings Street in Vancouver.

While the poster initially called for fair wages, videos posted online also showed trucks with banners asking to cut fuel costs and set “our own” rates.

“Trucking, especially dump trucks, is the backbone of the economy,” one protester told reporters.

“We’ve got massive construction going on in the number one freeway right now. [It] takes a dump truck to be able to do that […] and really the truckers here are telling them loud and clear they can no longer afford to continue to turn these trucks on and provide the services and the goods that we need.”

The convoy left Abbotsford at 8:30 a.m. and is set to make the round trip back from Vancouver later in the day.
