Navigating a Changing Truck Market

The trucking industry has seen a lot of changes over the last few years. From the start of the pandemic to the aftermath we’re experiencing as an industry now, businesses have come and gone, spot rates have changed, truck prices have fluctuated.

In the height of the market, some companies made business decisions in pursuit of near-term profit. The downside of those decisions created unnecessary financial risk and put their customers and their own businesses in jeopardy. As a result, we’ve unfortunately seen many customers and some businesses forced to cease operation.

Arrow is still here. We’ve been here for nearly 75 years. And we intend to be here for the next 75 and beyond. Here’s what you need to know about how Arrow does business.

Like we have for 75 years: consistently and responsibly. Arrow has been through difficult markets countless times in our 75-year history. We have experienced a lot of cycles, sudden changes, and difficult moments in the history of trucking.
