Arrow Trucking news is not good for employees, as the Arrow Trucking Company is closing its doors. The Arrow Trucking Company is rumored to be bankrupt now, but it seems that Arrow Trucking really didn't care about their employees in the end. It is being reported that some Arrow Trucking employees didn't find out they were out of a job until their gas cards were rejected while they were on the job across the country.

There are lots of trucking companies that have been going out of business ever since diesel fuel spiked to $5.00/gallon last year. It has gone down but so has the amount of freight to move around the country. Less freight to move requires less total trucks to carry it. It is a normal contraction in the economic cycle.

I live near a company called JEVIC.. Same thing happened.
Truckers were stranded across country when they were told about the company just closing up with no warning.

This is the reason American merchant seamen are, required by congress, to be paid in cash. In years past, seamen were stranded in many countries by bankrupting shipping companies who issued worthless pay checks.

Its not the drivers responsibility to return the trucks once they are no longer employed.

No it doesn't .

The trucker has signed a bill of ladening taking possession of the property in the trailer.

Also he is in possession of the truck and trailer. Charges can be brought in cases of abandonment
