Arrow Trucking reportedly closes its doors

Attention Arrow drivers: If you are driving an International, please take it to the nearest International dealership. Navistar Financial wants to help you get home and is offering a bus ticket or $200 cash. For help, please call Navistar Financial at 800-233-9121 and select #3 for customer service. If you call outside of business hours, please leave a message with your name, a phone number where we can reach you, your current location, and the VIN number of your truck.

I just called navistar, they said the $200 was for transportation only. So, since I live right here close to the dealership, I will be turning it in for free and losing any leverage I had towards getting paid. sux

 

I actually was paid last week, but there were alot of drivers that were not. Driver pay comes on a FJ payroll card. Some of the office personell was saying Tuesday that there paper check bounced.

And thanks for th advice on the DOL

 

My sympathies to all the drivers left to rot I wish you the best and a Merry Christmas.

To the owner(s) of Arrow, I hope you rot in jail for the treatment of and abandandment of hundreds of drivers two days before Christmas.

This is unexceptable treatment of drivers and customers when you full well knew this business was done months again. Evil shall perish when good men do the right thing to combat evil.

 

I'm not sure I would turn the truck in quite yet. I would call and see my options, and if possible keep the equipment until you are paid. Otherwise you are going to end up losing. Not sure if it's legal, but you would be in less amount of trouble, then these idiots that didn't pay, and bounced all the checks. That's for sure. And I'm sure if you went to work for another company, and told them the situation, they would understand. If anything, at least you could do your own thing!! LOL

 

I have heard of holding freight hostage, but equipment?

 

Turn their stuff back-in..............Stay out of trouble !!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have posted this somewhere else, but I would advise any and all company drivers if they get home for the holidays to clean out your trucks and get rid of all the extra comfort gadgets you have. I would have just enough stuff to fit in a duffel bag. I know this is a pain, but with the economy and plates being due soon many more co's are liable to fold. I have cleaned out a few trucks in my day and after a couple years of accumalating stuff you would be surprised how much stuff you have in your trucks. I would say if your co makes it another 3 months you are probably out of the woods, but if they fold up you will either lose a bunch of stuff or pay a fortune to have it shipped home. Better to be safe than sorry.
