Can you please tell me how the drivers would have knowed?? Did arrow them selfs give them a date that they would stop?? Or was it all hear say??

I never listen to hear say. Truck Drivers are some of the biggest BSers i know. So i never listen to what they say about company's.

Hey Mackman, being a former driver of Arrow I knew just by the way stuff was being operated and the internal info I would hear. Yes rumours were frequent but then almost always correct. Glad a few of us that are on here did jump before this.
And yes.... It did take me a few months to see it coming but glad I reacted when I did.

I'll keep back a couple hundred...just in case... for a bus ticket and a couple meals for one of those drivers if I happen to see them...

Hope someone else does the same...it certainly COULD be one of us.

That is a great idea. Good for you for thinking of it and your right, it could be one of us.

Some of the guys said they hadn't been paid for a month and when they were paid the checks bounced. That should have been a gigantic "Leave this sinking ship" sign.

I guess your right. If i didnt get a check i guess thats enough to make you think.

All companies make a mistake on checks once in a while. I had one this week where the trip was not entered correctly in the computer and I was shorted 70 miles. Told my boss about it and he fixed it on the spot. This is far different from not getting a check altogether. If i did not get a check or the check bounced it would only happen once.

Few questions, if the fuel cards are cut off then how do they expect these guys to deliver the trucks? What about any load they currently have, what happens with it? Or they wake up on a toll road and their pre-pass is cutoff and they don't have enough pocket money to cover the toll? What a mess for the drivers, I will not be surprised to see a bunch of abandoned Arrow trucks left sitting either out of fuel and loaded with cargo or just left at a T/S or rest area

Good thing arrow is not Union. Cuz i can see all the union haters coming in blaming it all on the union. :smokin:

I'm not a union person, but nether do I blame the unions problems on unions themselves, I blame it on ppl that try and get a little TO greedy. Unions in and of themselves aren't a bad idea, it's when ppl that run or are part of them abuse thier power or try and take to much. OK, enough off topic.

That puts more truckers out of work, really sux and also give companies more leverage to keep payrates down.
