Curtis Lawrence, owner and CEO of Skyward Transportation Inc., claimed in a complaint filed on Monday in the Southern District of Texas that, although he had the lowest bid, his company was not chosen by Fresh Del Monte Produce, Inc. to deliver its goods. Lawrence was reportedly the only African American bidder, and he claimed this was a cause of his bids not being chosen for the jobs.
Del Monte reportedly contracted with the plaintiff to transport products and other commodities within Texas, but discriminated against the plaintiff and breached its contract with him by not giving him routes, causing damages including loss of income. Lawrence reported that he, as a qualified trucking transporter with at least 30 tractors or trailers, bid on 14 routes the defendant opened for public bids but was not granted 13 of the routes although he had the lowest bid on each of the denied routes.
