    That's typical...the way They have the terminals structured..they attempt to screw each other...

    Sounds like office politics bs. Each location is its own franchise with separate owners and all the bs and egos that go along with franchise business. Still weird that Arkansas terminal was not listed on the website or a place to go on the terminal paperwork I got back in November. Maybe corporate knew they were getting the chop back then and stopped listing that location.

    The paperwork is from like 2007. Look on the bottom of it it should have a revision date. Anyways AR was a newer terminal fully owned by Knight. This is not the first time nor will it be the last time they close a terminal down. Same thing happened to Joliet, IL. Terminal just after it was built. Those guys were givin 2 days notice.

    Yeah I had a fun time trying to find the Joliet terminal at night with 20 minutes left on my clock. The address has the GPS turning right off the main road instead of left. Plus there are no street signs so I wasn't even sure it was the right place to turn. When I finally figured it out I passed by the place twice because there is no sign up front, luckily I saw the red trucks way back behind a fence and figured out where to turn. It's still a terminal we can use with showers, garage, and laundry. The paperwork I have is a PDF off the website, no date and no mention of Arkansas.

    I would bet that AR was a Barr Nunn location.

    It wasn't. It was housed a couple trucking companies during its life and Barr Nunn was not one of them.

    AR was around long before Knight acquired Bar Nunn.

    Didn't mean to sound short. I could have worded it better.
