After numerous complaints that say Arrow Trucking bounced employee paychecks in December, a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of over 1,400 former employees. In addition to claims that employee paychecks bounced, the suit also alleges that Arrow is in violation of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, not to mention state wage payment laws, after the company failed to give workers a minimum 60-day notice prior to closing its doors. To add insult to injury, Arrow is also accused of failing to fund fuel cards for the hundreds of, maybe as many as a thousand or more, drivers left stranded throughout the country, many of whom could not afford to pay for their own travel home just before Christmas, after the abrupt closure.
Monday, in the first meeting of the bankruptcy case, Arrow Trucking employees were informed that they will be receiving their W-2 tax forms soon, but their last paychecks, which will need to be newly issued after the original checks bounced, will take a while before reissuing.

Pat Malloy, the court appointed trustee for Arrow’s bankruptcy case, said, “We are daily working on determining who the creditors are, what the assets are, and what they’re worth.”
Malloy’s job is to find answers about creditors and assets; however, he has quite a bit of work ahead of him, especially when considering many of the deserted truckers ended up abandoned their rigs, leaving many of Arrow’s trucks scattered across the country. Malloy is responsible for mailing out more than 3,000 W-2s and is in the process of investigating employees’ 401k plans, to help get workers their money.
“Most of the time the company files bankruptcy and all that’s spelled out in the documents they file in the case, who the creditors are, what’s owed, what the assets are and what the company says they’re worth. We don’t have any of that,” said Malloy.

One of my closest friends was one of those drivers left stranded. He was over 500 miles away from home,just before Christms, but thanks be to God he made it home in Time. What Arrow Trucking has done is a crime and they should all be ashamed.
I as a Arrow driver did get my w2 but still havent gotton my last paycheck. because of not getting paid I lost my home because I couldnt pay my rent. I had to use all I had left money wise to have someone to come pick me up a 1200 mile round trip for my friend. I am driving for another company now, but I am struggling to get caught up on all the bills that I fell behind on because of Arrow’s neglect.
