    if you are a stranded driver, get on the radio and start selling anything off the truck that can be removed. chains ,tarps , tires , fuel , seats , you name it. sounds cold , sounds cruel. i own a trucking company and that is my take on a bunch of sorry rednecks that would do that. SELL , SELL , SELL. tires, wheels , seats anything. Get your tail home or wherever you want to go. DAM a bunch of sorry people like that. Johnny

    That is just sorry what they did. At least the drivers will get unemployment. Just absolutely disgusting! There's a right way to shut down and leaving hundreds of drivers stranded away from home in the heart of winter DURING CHRISTMAS WEEK is absolutely unforgivable.

    I hope the execs lose everything they own. I told you ####### Obama voters this would happen! I'm not blaming Obama for the poor way they shut down though but Obama and his Legislative cronies are ####### everything up!

    How many good sized companies are gone now this year? CHANGE YOU CAN BANK ON BUDDY!

    I drive for Schneider, and we actually got a message on the QC yesterday informing us that if we ran across any stranded Arrow drivers, we could give them assistance in the form of a ride, as long as we notified our driver managers and got the right rider forms filled out and faxed.

    Say what you will about the Pumpkin, but personally, I thought that was pretty cool.

    And I wish all you drivers the very best of luck.

    Ya might want to be careful selling what does not belong to you !! I can understand their rage, but don't complicate things by being arrested !! Peace.

    I agree that Obama is not doing alot of things right... but c'mon man, this economy was in the toilet and Arrow and alot of other companies were sinking into this mess before the election ever happened.

    IMO, both parties have FUBARed this country and economy. They are all a bunch of criminals... much like the heads of most big companies (including trucking... obviously). The leaders of this country (both parties), as well as big company execs are all greedy criminals and don't care about anybody but themselves.

    It is a shame that the working class has to always get the shaft... I feel for these Arrow drivers. Hang in there guys and gals.

    That's right . But how they can hold drivers accountable for missing equipment on trucks they can't get fuel for ? There is no proof drivers stole it or sold it . Any flatbedder or shop could help themselves to equipment on an abandoned Arrow rig .
    I suppose the smart thing to do would be the truck to a dealership or terminal and get a signed receipt for all equipment .

    No matter the situation, 2 WRONGS DONT MAKE A RIGHT.

    To even suggest that drivers sell stuff off the arrow trucks is ...........DUH!

    Let the things take their course, get yourself home and deal with getting your money etc. once you are safe and sound with your family and NOT having to worry about what someone might come knocking on your door for.

    Just so everyone knows the TruckersReport does NOT condone illegal behavior or suggestions of such.

    This economy was nowhere near as bad as it became after Obama took office! Remember, the libs took over congress in 2k6.

    I remember getting laughed at and harassed on the radio after telling people a vote for Obama and lib congress was voting themselves out of a job! I WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL!

    It just feels so #### good to be right. If there was an Arrow driver giving me hell with their Obama worship, perhaps those cb conversations are starting to ring a bell in their heads now!

    I can't totally disagree with any of this... but both parties are in it for themselves and nobody else IMO.
