Talk about a really awful Christmas- Arrow Trucking in Oklahoma shut down, but not just shut down, they cut off their driver's gas cards, leaving some stranded two days before christmas trying to get home to their friends and family, AND on top of that they no longer have jobs. Apparently the company isn't answering phones or putting info on their website either. And I thought my boss was a jackass...
My friend Brian drives trucks and just found out. Link to the story below.
I hope someone helps the stranded drivers get home, and I hope someone is held responsible.

Their website appears to be down completely, at present.
Also Google says "Arrow Trucking" is the ninth most popular search in the past year, so people are seeing this, and outrage will be felt. |

I hope so. I hate to see people being treated like this, holidays or no.
I get that it's rough right now, but seriously, have some...balls/ ethics.
Also, heyyy ctrees.

Also GREAT PR for Schneider trucking. I know I'd give them preferential treatment in contract decisions if, well, my shipping needs didn't cap out at heading to the post office once every six months. It's the thought that counts, dammit!
Also hey, BLK  |

That's awesome. THere's a few companies who've been lending a hand. I joined a FB group for it and was able to post the Schneider info that hadn't been posted and tons of people talked about how awesome Schneider was as a company. Made me consider a career in trucking.
