I'm back at Arrow for my second tour of sorts 8)
In fact, I'm sitting in Tulsa right now waiting on my truck to get out of the shop. Arrow has its good points, and it's bad - no company is perfect, but Arrow is the closest I've come at this point in my career.
The one thing I can say is that I've *never* been lied to here. When there is no freight, they are straightforward about it. When they have a problem with something, they are straightforward about it. Some terminals are better than others. I had fantastic luck my first time around with Dallas, TX - and want to pull my hair out over Houston. I'm also one of the few drivers that loves going to Tulsa.
Drivers are treated well here - and while I could have made more money at other companies, it was the people that brought me back here. The entire company has an open door policy that makes access to assistance unparalleled. I've even had a few chats with Vice Presidents over various divisions in the company. The guys over in Training and Safety are top notch, and prepare you for the road with one of the most complete programs I've seen. As a former van driver, I would have preferred more in the load securement side, but what is given is thorough, and you do need to test out of it to get a tractor.
PM or email me if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them for you, or I may be able to direct you to people who can that are not recruiters :wink:
