    I did learn newer trucks stripped bare bones. No options in them at all.
    Also 64 mph
    “Jan 22, 2019 · Heartland Express reported lower revenue but higher profits in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the company continues a program to shrink its fleet and re-establish itself as one of the nation’s most efficient truck operators”
    It turns around 7 months later and buys 841 drivers and trucks?

    They operate debt free, and are a penny pinching cheap company who like you said has bare bones trucks, wont let drivers idle, and does everything they can to save a penny irregardless of how it effects driver comfort, safety, or happiness.

    Millis operates a single brand fleet of tractors equipped to focus on driver comfort amenities and a single brand fleet of trailers. Millis has been nominated as a Best Fleet to Drive For and, like Heartland, has been recognized for years as a top paying carrier. Millis also has proven Compliance, Safety, and Accountability (“CSA”) scores and a compliant ELD fleet of tractors. For the past twelve months, turnover of Millis drivers has been under 50%, which is superior to industry norms.

    I bet they wont be able to say that over the next 12 months. Ugh....articles I'm reading now saying it gives Heartland a 500 customer base...

    At the end of the day it’s all about MONEY! I don’t know why all you millis fan boys think anything different, you have just been proven that you can’t trust anyone. Buy your own truck stop making these mega companies money. If there are more owner operators rates will increase. People like swift, heartland express, cr England are the ones pulling cheap freight.
