    Started driving flatbeds and trained by a family own company in Monroe Oregon and went into HHG vans for several years. Then went back to flats with Arrow trucking out of Tulsa Oklahoma. Was one of the most unsafe companies I had ever seen in my years of driving and was a constant battle with corporate about using boom chains not burlap straps on sharp steel plates. Sent to power up loads that were shifted and ready to fall off trailers. Heard they killed someone and went broke dumping drivers nationwide and freezing all their cards. Only lasted a few months with Arrow trucking because totally unsafe practices.

    I remember when I first heard about it I was sitting at the J south of Atlanta. It's funny how certain things are etched in your memory bank!
