Heartland express acquires interstate distribution

I hardly ever see Heart Land Express around here in Ohio at all any more same with Interstate used to see those two all the time but not as much recently.

 

I work in Cincinnati. They drop here all the time.

 

As a life-long west coaster I sure hate to see this happen.
First Heartland bought Gordon, now they're getting Interstate.
An ex Gordon driver that I've known for years made the transition to Heartland. He said.. "Gordon cared about their people. Heartland doesn't care at all."

 

Truer words never spokan ! Can't think of an Iowan I know that would work for heartless either .

 

In Washington, it doesn't matter what the condition is. Every time I see a heartland truck they are tailgating everybody they can catch. They would never be able to stop in time in the situations I see. I got tailgated in my personal vehicle. It was dark, rainy, in thick traffic doing 60. Nowhere for me to go. But there he is riding my rear-end. I get that the load needs to get there, but at least do it safely, and stop being douchebags.

 

Get ready to see alot of this.

 

Does heartland not have one of the highest CSA scores?

 

A person can't see their percentages anymore but Measure numbers aren't bad.

I haven't tried to check their scores. I'm just going by what I see for myself out on the freeways. It's not often that I see them at safe following distances.
