........................... Wow....

Are you friggin kidding me? Arrow put the website back up trying to hire drivers?? Who in their right mind would get into a truck for that company after what they did a couple of weeks ago? And what shipper would put its freight on their trucks??

One that doesn't mind their freight being abandoned at the drop of a hat apparently.

I noticed an Arrow trailer in OH (I think) last week in the back of a little fuel stop. Had a kingpin lock on it.

It will be a major task to recover that many trucks, especially when they don't have any drivers.

I guess I might do it as a temp job providing the company and I agreed before I left to get a truck what I would be paid and paid it in cash. Say, 1/2 before I left and 1/2 when I got back and also gave me an expense fee to buy the fuel to get it back also in cash.

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.

there's a coil sitting on an Arrow trailer at a truck dealer right off exit 226 I think on 80 in Ohio, if anyone wants some steel haha.

Sounds like it would be a steal. :p :hellno:

booooooo......
