Arrow Trucking (Tulsa, OK)

Another company not to work for. What recourse do you have if your check bounces? File a claim with the state? They are going into bankruptcy, join the list as a creditor. If you are lucky you might get pennies on the dollar. After hiring a lawyer to represent you you'll wind up owing more than you collect. If the company I work for decided today to switch over to me being paid via my Comdata card I would be looking for a new employer, and have one by the new year.

 

I stand corrected about my last post, we are paid via our Comdata card, if WE choose it. At least we have the option of either one.

 

News 6 Tulsa:

 

Wester Express in the help wanted ads even tell you your pay will be deposited on a Comdata card.

When I get rolling I will call my bank and check deposits.

 

As a business owner, once you deposit money into an employees bank account as a direct deposit there is no possible way of reversing the transaction, once it's deposited thats it. Now, as a trucking company that controls their own Comdata account, they have the ways and means of taking out what they put in. Again, I would be very suspicious about a company that has that ability.

 

....Employees at Arrow Trucking can call the State Labor Commissioner to file a claim about getting their paychecks, 1-888-269-5353.

It now becomes a race to bankruptcy court. Once bankruptcy is started, everyone owed money now becomes a creditor. Who do you think will be paid when the corporation starts liquidating whatever assets are left over? The drivers, or the leasing companies that will be owed millions of dollars for truck/trailer payments?

 

Anybody Know how many drivers have made it home???

 

I had my wife read this blog about Arrow and saw some of the news reports. I don't know how it could be done, but we would be willing to help a fellow driver get home with a bus ticket. This is so heartless and cruel to do a hard working driver this way. If there is a way to help a driver out we are willing and able to do it.

 

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.

 

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.
