    :biggrin_25511: Driver what did you do to help? This is just a excuse for you to continue doing what youve always done. Now you are just tring to justify it.

    Everyone is focused on a pee bottle rather than the real issue. These companies that claim to care don't. Why should we care about and support them? I will make almost 200K and my wife makes half that at her job. I will retire soon. I have made smart choices that will make my retriremant comfortable. So all you that still have several years in this might wanna wake up and figure how to fix this problem. It keeps getting worse.

    I'd like to know about the liability driving a truck when a company has shut down . Get in an accident and Arrow's insurer will say you weren't authorized to be driving it .

    Why? Do you have some sort of monopoly on what is and what isn't a valid form of protest against a company?

    Or, do I detect a bit of hypocrisy? Somehow it's acceptable for you to inconvenience me with your actions, but it's not acceptable for me to inconvenience you?

    Well heck I took a couple weeks off to spend with my family so maybe you could help me out with some money for fuel :biggrin_2556: Why is it anyone's responsibility to cover others mistakes?? That was great of swift to offer what they did and for the people that helped drivers out I applaud you. If I worked for a company as a company driver and they told me to take their truck to the nearest dealer to turn in you can bet that I would B/T their truck to MY house and tell them to come a pick up THEIR truck once I got home. Yeah it might cost me a few hundred $$ to get home but at least I would be home and no stranded some where with all my stuff hoping for a "free" bus ticket. You have to watch out for your self and your family.

    The point of this post is the disrespect we as drivers get and how we are left to fend for ourselves. Yet most of us are good hard working guys. Where is Arrow's bailout? I didn't wanna give CHrysler a bailout or the others but we did. So all I am asking is why didn't they bailout the drivers that got burned?

    If you make 200k what are you doing hanging out in truck stops? Every one heard your point.
    I bet if these truck stops would have gave these drivers fuel they would have raised their price and the rest of us would have paid in the long run. That is how it works.
    The real STINKER in this story is that ARROW did this to their drivers on Christmas week. It affected drivers, their wives,their children,and loved ones. Their timing was brutal.
