Truckers Stranded After Company Problems

Arrow Trucking Suspends Operations, Lays Off Employees

A trucking company's drivers are stuck in cites around the country, and it's unclear if they will be able to make it home for Christmas.

Florida resident Johnny Perry works for Tulsa, Okla.,-based Arrow Trucking Company and has been driving a truck for nine years. He said he was on his way to east Tennessee Monday when he stopped to refuel his tractor-trailer in Nashville.

"I went inside. They ran the (gas) card, and turned the pump on. When I went back, they ran the card again, but the card was declined," said Perry.

Perry has been stranded in Nashville for two days.

Arrow Trucking suspended operations on Tuesday and cut off drivers' fuel cards.

Drivers who are stranded in other parts of the country said the company is trying to buy bus tickets for them so they can go home.
