Update: Trucking company shuts its’ doors

Last week my post about the “just in time” shipping method received a lot of attention in the blogosphere, and now Tom Martin at American Preppers Network has posted this about a large trucking company in Oklahoma, Arrow Trucking, which suddenly shut down a few days before Christmas.  This move left some 1,400 Arrow drivers stranded around the country without valid fuel cards, unable to get home.

As a truck driver himself, Tom comments, “Now is the time to get prepared folks.  As a driver myself, I can see a cross section of the entire economy right from the windshield of my truck, and despite the lies our media and elected officials tell you, things are getting worse and will continue to get much worse.  Day after day after day I hear and see stories with my own eyes of companies going under. For each company that goes under, that’s less freight to be hauled and less jobs to be had. The fewer jobs, the less money, the less money, the less products purchased, the less products purchased, the more companies go under. We are in a vicious irreparable cycle right now. The question is not if, but when…look out around the stack of dominoes for a minute to see how much time you got left and get prepared now if you aren’t already.”

I want to give Tom a big, “Thank You!” for his insider’s point of view as well as posting this timely article.
