    What exactly is good about 300 hundred people out of work, with no notice. many far from home. Some being told to turn there trucks in, and then basically on there own to get home. Same thing happened with Sitton. Tell what is good about that?

    I believe he was referring to an article in a newspaper stating 300 people would lose their jobs at the local terminal .

    Yur right, 300 office, 1000+ drivers.
    Merry Christmas....Just like Sitton, How nice. But I'm sure the fat cats of the company will do well. At least Melton is down the road, and hiring.

    Wreckers lined up to repo trucks too. Wow, with Arrow in Tulsa and Sitton in Joplin, the used Freightliner market just increased.

    Shouldn't need a law, just a Conscience, a heart, a bit of decency. Its just fat cats playing with other humans lives.
    Yet I'm sure they are living there days out just fine. Hope they choke on a bone.

    How do they (owners) sleep at night ?? Scum is to good a word for them, but I can't type any really nasty words here. Pure SCUM !!!!
    Remember drivers, to give a two week notice before quitting, yeah - right !! Best of Luck to all those former employees !!

    Its good that arrow is gone. I didn't say it was good for the people who worked for them.

    Anyway, there had to be some writting on the wall about this.

    I believe Charger (JB HUNT Flat Beds) closed about this time of year also. Alot of companies have to buy new plates for the coming year, and can't afford them !! Who's next ?? Any bets ?? I'd guess PTL !!!
