    You are confusing contractors with employees. Nobody forced that ridiculous 1k dollar a week lease purchase on them. They signed the dotted line. Nothing more pathetic than grown men crying they got taken advantage of.

    Lol! I have been told this for months and months and so far I have seen progress towards our goal of reorganizing in order to getting back to the basics that we were when I first started with Celadon years ago..
    I’m not going to make any changes until I see a change in my personal circumstances. I have enough personal responsibility for myself to always have options to take care of myself in any event: family crisis; family emergency; personal emergency; or company failure..I will be fine; thanks for your concern...
     
    ladr and driverdriver Thank this.

    There is zero similarity between what went on at arrow and what went on at celadon.

    Do i think they are a good place to work? Of course not. I have never and will never work for them.

    But that doesn't mean they are the next arrow either. The financial situation is completely different. Bank of America and Citigroup didn't give them half a billion dollars in funding last June out of the kindness of their hearts. They did it because they saw an opportunity to make money.

    You work for Celedon you will not get a Golden Parachute. Greyhound or what a Plane Ticket. The owner of the company don’t sleep in the back of that TRUCK. I could have invested in a share that cost less than a Big Mac. I simply said they are a company that hire people and offer no chance of success long term. I bet the average Office,Driver,Mechanic,Warehouse worker wouldn’t be on Glassdoor talking about it’s culture.If it was a great company. Recruiter

    You should have bought that share. I bought over 17k shares this spring@ 1.56 a share. Last month i sold and made 80 grand on the deal. 80 grand for making a phone call. God bless capitalism and those who panic at every so called financial experts report.

    they didn't acquire any assets. They gave a loan. A loan that is currently being paid back on time.
