I would suggest you get accustomed to stories like this one. It's just the beginning of the destruction of the US by our own Gov't. Companies are struggling now and with the new taxes they will have put on their backs, they won't survive.

Navistar made the same offer as KW/Freightliner. Bring the truck in and get $200.00 or a bus ticket home. I'd personally drive towards the house until it ran out of fuel and hitch a ride home. Let Arrow Freight worry about the truck and the fines that will surely go along with it. This is another case of management that needs to be arrested and put in jail over the holidays. If they were having financial issues, it didn't come over night or was a surprise. They could have easily downsized or taken only loads that were profitable. This is criminal negligence on the part of management. And what about the poor business man waiting for his goods that he probably has already paid for? And some of it will be perishables I'm sure. Who's going to pay for that- the taxpayer....again? I like the Chinese way of dealing with things like this. Mismanagement is dealt with severely and that includes execution.
