Things are ok in heavy haul and line haul. I can't comment on regional as I have not a clue.

Hang in there man...

The truth is folks that the old outlaw days of driving are coming to an end. They have employed several DOT officers at Arrow to manage and fix some of the problems. in 2007 there were 20 rollovers! New training staff in 2008 as well as restrictions on speeds and log books have changed that In 2008 they had a total of 6 rollovers. So far zero this year.

The main reason for the change to 62mph is that the ...hmmm...the name of it?.. Safestat? Anyway that score is too high due to speed related violations. Not to mention fuel. I don't know how they figure that but...it is what it is.

They did turn the horsepower up so the trucks climb better...so there is something positive about it.

The company is fine. With that being said there are problems they are working on.

Oh and just for the record... police can now simple request qualcom info on any driver for up to 30 months. That is as of Monday February 16th 2009. At least in OK. So if your qualcom doesn't match your log books...your asprin is HIT! Now... is Arrow the best company for everyone..no. Probably not but it is great for a lot of folks.

Comparing income today during a meeting they are making the same money this year as they did last year and the year before that. It is the time of year and in fact they just signed a new customer for just over 300 loads per month.

But hey...who am I? Don't listen to me. I am just a dumb ole company driver making a very low income of around $1k wk right now. Yep it sucks, it's cold and 62 sucks.

I think everywhere is singing the blues right now. Especially drivers that are whining about loads but can't do the proper paperwork and follow directions on time. They get ticked and leave for somewhere else where they can't get milage and then just add another negative post about that company too.

Oh.. and the oldest line haul trucks in the fleet are 2006. There are some old steele trailers still in use. That is if 2004 = old.

Anyhow...I guess I could get on here and keep going but this #### just isn't true. It's not guys. There is no reason to post negativity just because you want to vent or add something you don't know about. It's ok to not know but there is no need to flat out lie either. I am just one of you guys. I have no proof of what I tell you on here just like you have none when you post.

Just give them a closer look if you want to work for a really great family ran company driving decent equipment. I did and could not be more proud to be a part of the team.....

Give Linda a shout in recruiting and tell her Paulie C. sent ya. I will buy you dinner when you come to Tulsa if I am around.

Have a great one guys.

However, I will speak the truth about them now, just as I did when they were doing well. Arrow is going to be out of business very soon. They have no money to pay their bills, and my lawsuit against them is just one of many regarding upaid workers comp bills. They are going to lose their right to self insure because of this and when that happens they are finished.

Regarding your lies: Arrow is still running many 04's and trailers made in the 90's. I have had one of those trailers and there are tons of them on the lot; actually more than aluminum. OTR drivers miles are now averaging 1,200 -1,600 miles; you are not averaging 1K a week I am sure. I just left there a month ago so I KNOW what Arrow is about. Arrow turning down there trucks to 62 is just a way to try and save more money to pay their bills. Reducing from 70-65 cut drivers wages on average of 6K a year. Now down to 62 is cutting your wages 10K from two years ago when you could drive 70. However, it really doesnt matter much now because you dont get more then 1200-1600 miles per week anyway so 55 would be fine to run that. lmao As for a family run company??? Its run by a family that cares nothing about their drivers. All they care about is putting money in their pocket.
