Well that's good, they're just laid-off !! They may be recalled soon, like all the Oldsmobile workers. What a crummy crock of crud.......... also, 2nd page wasn't there that I could see..

All stranded Arrow drivers need to do is find a Schneider driver and ask if they're headed in the same direction.
Schneider Drivers Offer Rides to Stranded Truckers

I actually gained new respect for Schneider as a company, even if it is a publicity deal.

Good luck to the former Arrow drivers on your quest to find a new company to work for. I would hate to be Dave P. right now. He needs to watch his back. He'll get what he deserves, maybe not now but on down the road somewhere, sometime.

I don't think it was publicity...they sent the message over their comm system, not a public broadcast media outlet!
But the real question may be when and how many pennies on the dollar will they offer to buy them out of bankruptcy? -
My guess would be that is not going to happen. Schneider is having financial difficulty themselves. I also don't believe that they want to get back into flatbedding. They sold their flatbed division a few years ago to Maverick.
I bet Maverick & TMC are knocking on the door trying to buy Arrow out of bankruptcy though.otherhalftw Thanks this. -
Not being a skateboarder...I didn't know that, so given this info...I'll bet you're right on the money there!
Excuse the pun! -
Personally, I don't care too much about *why* the Big Companies are offering help... I just care that they have!
JustSonny and teddy_bear6506 Thank this. -
Personally I don't see the point to buying a broke, defunct, and out of business company. The equipment has gone away, and the drivers have all split, 98% to 100% of them never to return. There really is no point to "buying" them out.
What there is a point to doing is have your sales team working over time to pickup the Arrow former customers.
