Tow-truck companies refuse to haul away large trucks gridlocking Ottawa

OTTAWA – All tow-truck companies on contract with the city have refused to haul away the big rigs that have gridlocked Ottawa’s downtown for the second week in a row, the city’s manager says.

Steve Kanellakos said the consensus among many of the of the companies seems to be that they don’t want to do the work because the heavy truck industry is such a large part of their livelihoods and they don’t want to damage that part of their businesses.
