Now with HL for 6 months and had about enough. Drive 70 hours a week, 500-600 miles daily and being told when I go home on the weekend I have to drive again in 34 hours. Some drivers are not welcome at Chester Virginia terminal. Managers that never drove trucks. I've never gotten a call to ask if HL can be of any assistance to me.

Really you don't like that new gimmick of home for your 34. I bet they start counting as soon as you go to off duty too.

From what I've seen of heartland..... and the actions of some of their drivers that I witnessed....that company is another bottom feeder to me..when their recruiter called me repeatedly trying to sell the .56 a mile pay and other "selling points" and bragging about the purchase of Gordon, at first I started to become a bit suspicious..... my caller I. D. shown a location that wasn't anywhere near heartland's terminals, he admitted he just worked out of his house.....then when pressed about length of haul, miles per week, whether it was regional or OTR, "why would you want to know that?".. when I get evasive answers like that, and attempts to bait and switch, the deal is off. I've been to a couple of companies where I went in signed up as OTR and those outfits had me doing nothing but regional even though I was required to be out at least 3 weeks....plus the guy would just tell me it was mostly short over night loads but would avoid the miles per week question.....that's when I said no thanks and hung up. I've had my experiences with mega-size companies and never again.
Rubberduckin Thanks this. -
....this is another good reason all company drivers should be paid on the clock, especially when the e-logs kick in.
There's too much the driver is not getting paid for in this industryLast edited: Jul 24, 2017

So either you are full of #### or maybe you spoke to one of those outsourced recruiters who isn't actually employed by heartland but is paid by them to bring in drivers. -
