Reply #36: Awful way some truckers found out their employer Arrow Trucking is out of business [View All]

[Robbien]

The Tulsa, Okla., trucking company stopped payment on the gas cards of its drivers, leaving some of them stranded Tuesday around the United States, miles from home. No explanation on the website. No one at the company answering phones.

The 200 or so employees at Arrow Trucking's headquarters were told to pack up their belongings and go home Tuesday morning, according to the Tulsa World.

The only acknowledgement was a brief recorded message on the company's main phone number, asking drivers of its Freightliner and Kenworth trucks to turn their rigs in to the nearest dealer and to call a special hotline to arrange for a bus ticket home. Drivers of the company's Navistar trucks were told to call back for mroe information.

At the gas pump with their trucks almost out of gas, truckers are having their gas cards denied and are being told to drive around to the nearest dealer and turn in the truck. Then truckers are supposed to arrange a bus ticket home. What are the odds any cross country bus has empty seats during Christmas week. Some happy holiday.
