Among other things, I notice that what appears to be their company newsletter, En Route, seems to end in July of 2009. Nothing more after that.
But I'll tell you what would make some sense to me. More than one company has shut down, only to reopen back in business after "re-organization". A year ago, BEST BUY was closing their doors. Today, we can still do business with the NEW BEST BUY. Arrow stopped all operations, but did not bring all the equipment home. Why? Because they were not going out of business. They shut down in order to re-organize and start business back up again. And, they might have a silent partner now. Someone like Tom Growjean that was more than a silent partner with Burlington Motor Carriers. They still list the same owners, but may have a different manager and a couple of others on the staff.
Growjean has his fingers in a few other companies like Hirschbach, and it would not surprise me if he now has his fingers in Arrow. That would mean they will be up and running for a time, at least.
With Burlington,I was told that the manager they had was also being paid by Celedon to put Burlington out of business. I was also told that the manager was sent to prison for industrial espeonage, along with his private secretary.
Arrow may have had someone with money bail them out, and actually be going back into business. With drivers going to other companies, they now need drivers badly, so the new pay package will hopefully bring in new ones.
So, how well do you trust them? Depends on who gave them the money and what they do with it.
