Default Arrow Trucking Shuts Doors

Assuming you owned your own truck. This reads like Arrow told

I believe that pretty much all of the trucks Arrow was using were leased
from the manufacturers and that's why the drivers were told to drop them
off at the nearest Freightliner dealer.


I don't remember all the details on my shirttail cousins deal but the jist of it is the
trucking company negotiates leasing terms with a truck manufacturer and the drivers are
responsible for the lease.

In my cousins case, the truck is leased for 400,000 miles with a warranty that is in
effect for the full term.

I *hope* this isn't a case where the drivers end up holding the bag.
