Former Employee - Mar 25, 2026

You have to wait hours to get loaded or unloaded and not get compensation for it. You do everything right professionally and when you make a little mistake they make you feel like crap, your moral goes down the crapper

Pros

Good home time and equipment

Cons

Did over 100 trips and was late to one because of waiting to get loaded and they yelled at me and wanted to rip my head off, made me feel like I was a rookie driver, like I didn't know what i was doing, I have 25 yrs experience

Absolutely terrible...ive been here since 2017 but im now going elsewhere in a month...they have totally destroyed a once grest vompany...now its a driver managers power tripping company with Absolutely no csre for the driver, no more miles ,sitting 2 days on a 400 mile run ,treat southeast regionsl Absolutely terrible, no pay raises .59 cpm...keeping you out not to run but only n9t to get home. Mandatory split sleeper, no 10hr...a safety dept that lives bu what a you tube vid or their silly computer tells them...not the reality of driving in the real world...i could add a ton more but i woll let you come and experience it for yourself...good luck

Pros

Absolutely terrible, Driver Managers have to have the most basic things explained to them, they will not help you when asked they care more about getting their work load bonus ( which you will not get) and yes they the driver managers do get big big bonuses, the safety dept cares more abiut their videos then they care about drivers ,im out of here in 3 weeks...beennhere since 2021 and this is nit the same company it use to be

Pros

None anymore

Cons

Wow ..toooo many to put in this space

No pay raise in this corporation, where you start....(57 to 59 cpm) is where you stay, bonus, unrealistic, Favoritism is to the absolute extreme with the corporate driver snitches ,appointment times unrealistic ,southeast regional you aren't allowed 10hr break you have to (corporate policy) do 8/2 7/3 split are face write ups and or firing, safety dept is to the farthest extreme, not only do they watch you 24 /7 in truck they also listen, even when you think camera is off its on..ive caught them 2 times asking me about something i detention saying on the phone to my daughter even though they said camera was off...no detention pay no lay over pay only extra $25 on multi stop loads...12 years ive driven for them but as of next week i am leaving, its absolutely amazing how bad they have screwed up what once was a good little company...its now run like a mega carrier, micromanagement, threats , make you sit for 2 days on a 300 mile run to punish you if you dare tell a dispatcher (DM) no or i cant ,or i dont have the hrs.....best advise ...look elsewhere for driving job as i have , 12 yrs here now flushed down the toilet...a shame just really a shame

Pros

None anymore after rebranding small company into mega carrier corporate business style

Cons

Way too many to list at this time, just know after 12 yrs here i have to go elsewhere now

I've been with them 9 years and the recruiters I had have moved on to different jobs within the company but I never felt like I was lied too. As with other companies I have my down weeks but I end up making up for it on a monthly basis. The people are very easy to get along with and the pay raises have been decent. If you're willing to work for it a little bit you can get an idle or fuel bonus depending on whether you have an APU or not. I'm in a 2016 Cascadia so I have an APU and he truck is getting great fuel mileage so I usually get my bonus. All their new trucks are automatics. The pay is decent, right now I'm at .43/mile. I feel like it's fine though cause I get good miles. I should mention I live near the Akron terminal so home time is very good for me. I've heard they want the website to be up and running within the next month or so. The old one isn't the greatest but it gets you what you need. Hope this helps, I know I gave you more than what you were looking for but they have been good to me!

I have been with Heyl for almost 2 years.. real good company to work for, they will run you , i average 2200-2500 miles a week. They modifed pay a few months ago to make getting bonuses easier, and i have never missed either my fuel pay or my quartely, i hit 30000-33000 in a quater, hometime is never an issue they can have me back in a week if i need them too. the site is heyl.net 

85% of our freight is florida and texas.. and we bounce to the NW quite a bit..

The Heyl Truck Lines Experience

heyl maybe a good company for some. what i found out. too many red flags for me. first phone call the first questions they asked. if i was on welfare or unemployment. seemed like they were fishing for govornment kick backs. and then they asked about everything else. had to keep pestering them to keep up with the status of the application. they are really good about keeping me up to date on it. so they hand the application off to the safety guy. didn't hear from him until monday late in the afternoon. the only reason he called at all. is because i pestered the recruiters. once he called. he told me that he had the app. and wanted to know when i wanted to come in for an "interview" and then he said depending how it went???? they would consider a road test. then said I would be sent back home after that! asked if they did a hotel stays or anything. because i would be traveling 160 miles to the interview???? I still question that. they never said, so I went with no. so i would have to travel 320 miles a day between for orientation. so once i thought about it. I realized that they are in no kind of real need for drivers. and I think they are mostly phishing for back up drivers for possible future employment when they are in need. so it didn't seem very promissing. and for most traveling 320 miles a day for orientation is too expensive. and just too far for a maybe. so for me. it was questionable at best. are they hiring? or are they just taking applications and doing interviews? and there's no real job offer in exsistants at heyl???
