One positive aspect of the story posted at the link is that more than 100 Arrow trucks and several hundred trailers remain unaccounted for. Sounds like there are a lot of smart truck drivers out there who aren't going to let themselves get jerked around by the company.
The shippers are third parties and shouldn’t be getting shafted. Arrow management should have seen this coming and acted more responsibly. I suspect the company is closely held and the owners and managers are the same people.
strange as most motor carriers have trailer and tractor tracking gps systems in them. so unless the units were comepletly disabled the should be able to find them as also the guys mobile phone might even have the system.
