Arrow Trucking, we need to talk ...

So I remember hearing a few weeks ago about Arrow Trucking out of Tulsa, Okla., stranding truckers in Laredo and across the country because it just shut down.
It just left drivers and employees out in the dark, making them call some mysterious phone number and hear a recorded message telling the drivers where to park their rigs.
Hmmm. Well, it appears Arrow Trucking is facing at least one lawsuit over possibly not following the federal Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act (WARN).
To be fair, here's an article posted on this topic.
Now if anyone reading this knows anyone who worked with Arrow Trucking and is willing to come forward and talk about this situation or even have his/her attorney talk about it ... then come on.
I'm sorry, but this is unacceptable treatment of workers. These are human beings, OK.
They deserved proper notice about their company's situation.
If you are a member of Arrow Trucking's leadership, then respond to this question:
Why are you in the dark? Come out, make a statement. Be fair. Look people in the eyes and state your truth. The linked article from www.lawyersandsettlements.com does mention a statement from Arrow Trucking's CEO.
Apparently, this matter also was covered in a Christian Science Monitor story, too.
So if there's an Arrow Trucking employee in Laredo willing to talk ... contact me through this blog or hit me up with an e-mail at jrutland@lmtonline.com.
This is sad, ridiculous and just plain wrong.
