Social media comes to aid of stranded Arrow truck drivers

Sometimes technology can have some unexpected benefits, all it takes is a vision of the problem and a knowledge of the tools available.

Arrow Trucking, a respected fleet based in Tulsa with a venerable history, unexpectedly and suddenly ceased operations today. Fuel cards stopped working last night, and today drivers all over the USA are stranded. Drivers with Freightliner and Kenworth tractors are instructed to go to the nearest Freightliner dealership. Those driving International tractors have no instructions. Daimler Financial is assisting Arrow drivers with bus fare on Greyhound. However, many drivers can't make it due to their fuel situation.

To the rescue - social media and drivers helping drivers.
