    As many may know by now , Gordon Trucking was purchased by Heartland.

    Those of us at Gordon are concerned about what to expect in the future. We have been consistently advised by both GTI and Heartland execs that we will not see many changes in the foreseeable future. .. just what that means is anyones guess.

    Eventually change will come and Gordon will become Heartland in one form or another. .. good or bad.. time will tell.

    We have had someone from Heartland come onto this forum and attempt to encourage us. That was greatly appreciated.

    However I believe I speak for everyone when I say that we would like to hear more from current drivers with Heartland. Both the good and bad. I have read quite a bit of negative info throughout the internet on various forums but I can find scarcely little good that anyone is saying.

    I wonder if this is due to the old axiom if you can't say anything good don't say anything. ..

    We would love to hear something positive from heartland drivers such as ..
    1. Length of service
    2. Weekly miles driven
    3. Relationship with support staff
    4. Frequency and length of hometime and difficulty in getting home.
    5. How long do you stay out

    Anything else you would care to ad would be appreciated..

    Not a Heartland driver.

    Been through a few mergers/buyouts.

    YOU are just along for the ride. There is not BUMPKISS you can do about it.

    Well unless you want to buy the company.

    So do not waste your time worrying.

    Actually there is plenty i can do about it..

    Gordon may have sold the company but they did not sell me!!!

    I was never for sale ..

    I offer my services to whomever i choose.

    At this point i am gathering intel in order to decide whether to continue my services here or move on.

    Any relevant information appreciated

    Or you could just PM Chromedome. He's always been forthcoming with what you seek.

    Have you gone to Heartlands FB page and asked questions there??? I learned a lot from the drivers that have asked on there.
