Postal Service severing mail contract with California trucking company

Caminantes Trucking involved in 11 crashes — including 2 fatal wrecks — over 2-year period

The U.S. Postal Service is canceling its mail contract with a California-based trucking company with a history of safety violations and drivers who were involved in two fatal crashes in the past two years.

“The Postal Service reviewed the association with Caminante[s] Trucking and chose to end the contractual relationship,” a statement to FreightWaves said.

The Postal Service spokesperson said Caminantes was notified last Friday about the decision to cut ties with the mail carrier and the government agency expects “to have replacement carriers named within two weeks.”
