there are reports of drivers still stranded.if you will like to help get some home if any are in your area they set up a facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/#/SupportArrowTruckers?v=wall&ref=nf

they couldnt legally strand them could they? that would mean they would have to leave their trucks somewhere. I would imagine the drivers still had to COMPLETE their run and then hit the door.

no thte first article i posted says they recieved a text message from main office saying that there fuel cards had been shutoff and they are to leave there trucks at a local dealership and find a way home. no legally they couldnt just strand them like that which is why many lawsuits are being filed. as for what happen to the loads they where hauling who knows.they could of had them drop off somewhere to be picked up by a seperate company

It is not unreasonable to hold company property for collateral until you get your final paycheck.The majority of time when a company goes under like this one did your chances are slim to none you will receive your final paycheck which could be in the thousands if you had a lot of vacation time left.If I was driving one of those trucks I would park it in my driveway and hold it for payment until I get my paycheck.

a few problems truck drivers dont have vacation time its not that kind of job you get little time off.the company went bankrupt they had no money and had not been payin correctly since thanksgiving time. also the fuel cards the drivers used to fill up there trucks got shut off and many drivers where hundreds of miles away from home and didn have fuel to get home. last but not least these companys have the computers to shut these trucks down at anytime no matter where the truck is also they can start it without the keys if they wanted to go pick it up and either way most major trucking companys such as arrow and swift dont own there trucks the lease them from another company
