One good thing Arrow did was run a top notch orientation training session regarding mirrors and logs. I hope those aspects get picked up by other carriers.
It took me two weeks with them to realize that it wasn't something I wanted to continue. They said to bring a limited amount of gear to orientation as they'd route you through home within a couple of days to grab the rest. By the time I had enough it was two weeks later and not once routed that way. That may not seem like much, but after strapping loads in muddy yards it got old wearing mud caked clothes without extra ones to change into. But that is minor compared to the brakes on the trailers. I'd never seen a Freightliner shop mechanic lie on behalf of a company before working with Arrow. Long story short, after a phone call with Arrow the mechanic said something that didn't match what a previous mechanic said or what my brake repair class instructor taught us or even better yet what a vehicle inspection would have revealed had one been done. How that company ever got one of their trucks/trailers through an inspection is beyond me. Despite the joy it brings to me to hear they are closing I feel bad for any of the people working there that were treated so poorly. Now if we could just get the axis of evil in the SW to do the same the clouds would part and the sun would shine. |
guy I took out the other day to train applied to a bunch of companies a couple of weeks before christmas when his other job ended. One of the companies to call back was Arrow. Boy, did he dodge a bullet.

Havent heard much about the boy being in trouble lately that would be nice to see them get jail time. The mom I thought was kinda out of it until the start of the end when she booted him out just after I left in May or June. Hows the shoulder doing? |

Tulsa World: Arrow's ex-CEO blames others "Pielsticker also denies that he knew before Arrow Trucking's demise on Dec. 22 that the company was in financial straits or was on the verge of collapse, the court document shows." It's a big company! You expect him to know everything? |
