Its only the people who are non-union who complain, are you jealous teamsters get paid for their time? If Arrow was union sure they might have closed their doors 2 years ago,like they should have who knows. The drivers would still be able to draw a pension if they were vested and would have enough money to fly back home if they were stranded. The trucking industry is not going to get any better for truckers until everybody unites against low pay and long unpaid hours. Be honest you wish you were driving that brown truck pulling doubles that you just passed.

I'm really curious about what they were telling you about not getting paid.

I cannot fathom why people do this with their businesses and employee's. How hard would it have been to announce that Arrow was going to be closing and then bring everyone home and THEN close the business?
How does that POS sleep at night knowing there are still drivers out there trying to get home with no money and no fuel. I have heard drivers on the CB offering to help Arrow trucks with Fuel and food at the Lake point ,Utah Flying J and T/A! It really made me proud of them to be stepping up to help.

I called this number. It is a message that was left for arrow drivers. Take a listen 1-800-759-2009. Arrow can go to hell.
Its says the dealers will help get you home?? How are they going to help?? Them dealers could careless about the driver.

Why would the dealers help to get the drivers home? Arrow should have made sure to route all of the trucks into a terminal somewhere before going belly up. And bought the drivers a bus ticket home.

the Freightliner dealers have said they will give Arrow drivers a bus ticket home or 200 cash, whichever they prefer.. all they have to do is come in and ask
