My boyfriend was a driver with them for 2 yrs. We know we will never see the last paychecks,and are in danger of losing our phone and storage, but at least we have a place to stay for a while. Unemployment may not be there for him. Trying to get a job is hard but we will find something , hopfully soon. Thank you all again for your support.

Do you research before you head down this road. I know many big companies recruit the military because they know that military members are one of the few groups of people that can hack this type of treatment among other things. I'm saying use caution and if there is anything else you'd rather do, go do it.

If the drivers have to pack all of their stuff from the truck and take it home, then a bus ticket isn't much help for some of them. Your idea of a rental sounds like the least they could do.

Wow, sounds like some pretty heartless people at Arrow AND at the Creditors! Didn't they see this coming? Do we have the name of the lendor? Seems like they should get some bad press also, don't you think? I am sure that almost any driver from any other truck line would be happy to help out a fellow truck driver and take him, if not all the way home, at least to the nearest bus station.

If it were me, I'd stop at the nearest place I could stop, leave the truck, and get a rental car home. A bus ticket? Give me a break. They should be paying for car rentals. Probably would be cheaper too. Oh man, that’s gotta suck.

I called the Freightliner dealership in Mobile, AL. They had one driver there. When I talked to him he said he was one of the lucky ones, he has family that are on their way to get him. I am calling the other Freightliner & International dealerships in my area as well as the truck stops to see if they have any drivers that need help. I agree Derek.

Will be helping any stranded Arrow drivers up here in the Victor Valley (Victorville / Hesperia CA). My brother drives for Swift Trucking. He just got home for the holidays this morning. When I told him about this he wasn't surprised. He says this is happening more and more these days. It just really sucks to happen two days before Christmas. Derek Hi Cindy,
