That's true, 2010s didn't start being sent out until July so at best 6 months so that is 18,000 miles a mounth... Thats dang good miles for a driver with a company that has a lot of freight. Actually if your running 4000+ miles a week as a single you are not running a legal log book.

I've found that the majority of eastern european people are hard workers. Of course there are exceptions such as the jypsis but for the most part they are just like you or I, trying to make a living.

Wow I just read all of this and and am sure glad when I got my trucking license I didnt do over the road stuff.
I would have a hard time not selling some of their stuff from the truck for my way home.
Wish I would have read this sooner, I would have went to the truck stops looking for some arrow trucks to see if I could help.

The following is a work of fiction and not to be taken seriously:
Were I ever ripped off like Arrow treated its drivers, the truck would take me to my friends car dealership where I'd drop it off because I would magically run out of gas money, or I'd arrange to have it towed from my house to accrue an "abandoned vehicle" tow bill for the vehicle owner.
Suitable lawful dealer/tower storage bills would accrue, and a magistrate sale would follow.
(A bankrupt company won't have assets to bid at the magistrate auction and it isn't likely it could afford a tow either.)
Magistrate titles trump all other claims including liens and are free and clear.
They are necessary for towing companies and others to recover losses from deadbeat customers and abandoned vehicles. The owner is notified by registered mail at the registered address to settle the debt lest the item be auctioned.

Come on, guys, lighten up on the management at Arrow. After all, the CEO himself is losing his little ol' shack, too.....For Sale Sign At Home Of Arrow Trucking's CEO - NewsOn6.com - Tulsa, OK - News, Weather, Video and Sports - KOTV.com |. I've done quite a bit of restoration and remodel work in that part of 'old oil money' town, and I never fail to ask myself "where the hell does all this money come from"? Now I know......

"Citing safety concerns, federal regulators issued an order calling for Arrow to bring its abandoned trucks back, but it’s not clear if Arrow is looking for drivers to recover equipment and loads."
it is to be hoped the company doesn't recover and everything it owned goes to auction. Abandoned trucks don't pose a safety concern. They can be towed, stored, then sold or scrapped.

Abandoned trucks pose no real threat. Abandoned LOADS, CAN present a threat under certain circumstances. But the gossip running around was that Arrow had not hauled any hazmat loads in weeks previous, so there's no real telling what's up.
