NEVER FORGET WHAT HAPPENED TO ARROW TRUCKING'S CEO
Unfortunately No one knows how bad it is at this company that was created by the SOLE member. Now there are new players in the game. The newest drivers and employees are so unaware of the constant scandalous acts that continuously go on. The value of human life versus MONEY.... a word that is shoved down every drivers throat and employee throat until the life is sucked out of them... NO LIE.
With all that being said, I know for fact that a class action petition has been submitted to OOIDA.
This is how the Petition reads:
PETITION FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUITE AGAINST
CHAMPION TRUCK LINES LLC, CANYON TRUCK LINES LLC, TIME LINE LEASING LLC, PERFORMANCE SAND LLC, FOSTER FRAC LLC, AND ALL ACTING OFFICERS, MANAGERS AND PARTICIPATING EMPLOYEES TO INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL PARTICIPATING AND ACTIVE DISPATCHERS DRIVER MANAGERS AND INCLUDING ALL PARTICIPATING AND ACTIVE DRIVER RECRUITERS.
They are a trucking company that just started in Tulsa OK....they lie to get you into orientation, offer you food and say you get paid to sit in class. The information provided on their Web page talked about a lease to own option after 90 days once got to orientation you were to lease on immediately. they false advertise. Didn't pay while in training and never catered any of the training. Brandon is the owner and Sammy is his right hand guy. They came from the oil fields in southern Texas. Sammy is a womanizer harassing all the help in the office. They have not been paying any of their employees. There are drivers that have been driving for weeks and still not getting paid. They come up with every excuse in the book on why they haven't paid. They have you lease onto a truck sayin you will pay for 3 yrs but before you can pay it off they will fire you and keep the truck. This place is a joke. Horrible company to work for. You have more stress working for them then not having a job. They will give you money for doin something and say that's ur pay then take it out as an advancement. RUN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! They need to be shut down and thrown in jail!

This company is dishonest with drivers. They treat them with no respect. Payroll checks bounce for drivers and office staff. Owner does not pay his bills. No professionals in office. The office environment is child like and offensive. Definitely not a professional company. Do not work here in any capacity you will not be consistently paid. They continually hire people and cannot pay the staff they have. There are much better companies to work for.
