Federal authorities have issued an emergency order to executives at Arrow Trucking Co. to retrieve company trucks and trailers from truck stops and parking areas around the country and secure them in “appropriate facilities.”
The emergency order was issued by William Quade, acting associate administrator for field operations of the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in Washington, D.C.
The order directs management and officers of Tulsa-based Arrow “to direct Arrow employees or other responsible and qualified operators to drive Arrow CMVs (commercial motor vehicles and cargo) to appropriate facilities for the safe and orderly transfer of responsibility and control over the vehicles.
“In the event qualified drivers are not available or driving is otherwise not possible, Arrow is ordered to have the vehicles towed to a safe and secure area and to arrange for transfer of responsibility over the vehicles,” Quade wrote in the order. “Arrow is specifically directed not to permit its drivers to abandon Arrow CMVs on any public highway or to leave vehicles on which hazardous materials are being transported unattended or parked in violation of federal regulations.
“Arrow is also directed to work cooperatively with federal, state and local law enforcement officials to arrange for the orderly and safe movement, parking, attendance and surveillance of its CMVs.”
Arrow executives could not be reached for comment.
