Started Looking

Arrow has 04-06 Freightliner Columbias, 06-07 Kenworths T-600's, and 05-07 Internationals 9400 I's. When you finish orientation go to the lady that gives out the trucks and put in a request for what you want. She tries to get you what you request. If you look like a dirtball in orientation or have accidents on your record you will probably get a truck that fits your appearance and driving ability LMAO. My first truck was a 06 freightliner and I really liked it. It was clean and in good condition. Now I have an 07 International with an apu (there trying to equip their trucks with apu's now but probably only 1-5 have them at this time). If your an experienced driver you will only have one week of orientation and be assigned a truck (or be waiting for one) on Thursday unless you cant do basic driving and backing. Then they would send you out with a trainer for a couple weeks. However, if you can shift and back and drive without hitting anything you will not have to go with a trainer. Just be SAFE.

I personally am very happy with Arrow. I get on average about 2,800 miles a week. Down a little from last year but still do very well. I am linehaul and stay out 4-6 weeks at a time and take a week off. If your going to do regional dont bank on more than 2,000 a week. To be honest in Arrow if you take what loads they give you and communicate with your DM on what you want and need you will do very well. Oh, and no accidents, tickets, etc. Also, when you go to the shop make sure the inside of your truck is clean and not a pigpen. Things are noticed and personally if it were my company and a driver brought a truck in that was a mess inside it would be his last day working for me.

Hope that helps and dont listen to the negatives on Arrow in here. In my opinion those that complain about Arrow are the ones that just are not meant to be in this business. NOBODY that I have talked to on the road that was an Arrow driver has ever complained to me about miles, trucks, etc. that I have seen in truck stops or at the shop. Arrow hires a lot of people with records, accidents, etc. (god knows why, I wouldnt) and they are a second chance company and a new driver company in my opinion. With that your going to get drivers that just are not happy and/or screw up and are not given miles or good equipment. Thats just the nature of this business.

If you need any further information on Arrow feel free to contact me.
