that's $700 pretax.

There's good reason they are called Heartless Express.

Met a Heartless at I476 toll rest area by Allentown (they just redid it and it's nice) lost her oil cap (where you put the oil in) to her Cat Columbia. -Much better truck than my FreightShaker Columbia. (Sat)

Their ads look good?

Here we go again. If the company constantly needs to advertise, they are not worth anything. Ask yourself why they advertise in every truck magazine and website. The answer should be obvious.

Drive safe

CR-England has better ads and promises 50cpm

CRST promises the "Gold Rush"

Heartless Express promises the "HeartBreak Experience"

I worked for them in the mid 90's for a short time. Miles were about 75% of what they advertised. Home time sucked. Really slow trucks. Lots of fingerprint freight. Lots of sitting all day, then 3 hr deadhead to pick up a 400 mile load that had to be there asap. Dispatchers just didn't understand why you were po'd all the time. If I knew then what I know now, I would never have signed on.

I dated a girl like that one time. Needless to say, it ruined me for life.

Now I only date women who submit to a 3 hour psych eval.

Heartland questions...

Howdy all, new here.

I've been driving for 3 years now with 2 different companies. In August my wife and I moved to TN so I could finish college. It was a lot harder to find a job here than I though, so I'm running behind on my school bill. No big deal, its not that big of school, but I won't be allowed to return next semester until this bill is paid. I am considering jumping back in the truck for a semester and half way through the summer to make some money and pay a few bills.

Here's my question: I've been looking at lots of different ads and checking different websites. By what I see on Heartland's website, I think I would like to run regional out of their Memphis (Olive Branch, MS) terminal. I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with Heartland as a whole, and any particular experience with the regional out of Memphis. I live in East TN, but the running lanes for that office include this area. I really want to drive West.

Also, how is orientation for Heartland and where is it held? Does each terminal have its own orientation, or do you have to travel to Iowa to get it over with. And how about the equipment. I've noticed I see more and more of their drivers with the new International ProStar. I think those are good looking trucks.

Thanks for any help you may have for me. Hope I can find something out and make an informed decision.

Paul
