[Best Syndication News] The Arrow Trucking Company stopped paying the gas cards for their drivers and have left some of their truckers miles away from home without any explanation as to why.
According to a report by The Christian Science Monitor drivers received only a brief recorded message on the company's main phone number saying that drivers of their Freightliner and Kenworth trucks need to return them to the nearest dealer and they can call a special number to get a bus ticket home. If they drove a Navistar truck they were told to call back for more information.
Tulsa World reported that 200 employees at the Oklahoma based Arrow Trucking were told to take their belongings and go home on Tuesday Morning.
1400 drivers lost their jobs, left stranded at Christmas, and not paid for about six weeks. This is the cruelest behavior I have ever heard. The upper management of Arrow need to be prosecuted, It is against the law to do this. Where is the federal government on this one. In the truckers forum they are hot about this one, and how these drivers were treated. I agree the drivers should have sold all they could off the trucks. One driver is still missing, his truck was found, but he is still missing. We do know what goes around comes around, it really does, I have seen it, over and over.
