Heartland Express, Inc. - Coralville, Ia.?

If a lot lizard had a sign on her that stated she was a virgin would you belive that too.

 

LOL

That would be a sight to see.

Man it doesnt take much to impress you, just take a picture of a pretty truck and put 50 cents a mile and you signup.

 

Plain and simple HEARTLAND SUCKS. STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCUMBAGS.

 

First, I have to ride a BUS to the yard and then I am not paid for the 3 day orienition. Plus, I was only given one meal a day. The whole time I'm wondernng why are they so cheap? After reading a large number of posts and getting an understanding of ths company, I now understand why thy will hold your money on Wed. if you are not under a load ($1 permile from Main Office) Short loads, restart time for waits over 4 hours. These guys get you going with the high pay deal. Do you really think they have anything to give you when they didn't pay for dinner durig orienition? They give cheap a bad name.......

all right i'll post my experience with heartland express. i've been doing this for about 14 years so im no rookie, what i will tell you is the god honest truth about how i was treated at heartland. WHATEVER your recruiter says to you is a lie. when you see a company that does orientation at 5 or 6 terminals twice a week it ought to tell you something, it should have told me. if you like short heavy loads, sitting for long periods so you can run their HOT FRIEGHT overnight, sit in line at terminal inspection and pick up loads that they want you to drop on their relay yards that take 4-5 hours to get loaded for a little heartland cares pay. seriously driver you can do much better at a smaller company where they know you by name and actually try to be a family atmosphere to work at. GOOD LUCK if anyone goes this route.

 

If you want to know anything about Heartland let me know. Boy do I know.

 

Yes Heartland is great if you like being dry screwed. You will love them, they will make you screem with love. heheheheheheheheh

 

That's why they are called Heartless Ex. They are the worest to work for.

 

I too am an ex Heartless Express driver. Almost 2 years with these scumbags!!! In October '08, I got a qualcomm message thanking me for my good service record. In Nov '08, I "accumulated" 7 service failures, none of which I was allowed to see so I could agree with or dispute them. My 2 year anniversary would have been in April '09, and would have rec'd my safety bonus, pay raise and vacation pay. They promise you the world, and deliver nothing but dirt.

 

Found this on the net today thought some folks might want to know

Anyone with any insight on this situation please post for any heartland drivers that might be affected ( hope no one is)
