    No, but, I have it on good authority he was cool old neck biter. I know this because I did work with his Grandson briefly around 30 years ago.

    Hey Frank,maybe you can go up to Iowa to Heartless’ headquarters and start biting necks up there for infringement. Because it sounds like they certainly are sucking the blood out of these drivers signing up for the fleece purchase,if not sucking out their soul to go with it.

    That’s not a bad idea really. The entire continent is mine and a few of my counterparts’ territory and Heartless ain’t one of ‘em.

    Nobody moves in on my action!

    Well this is the story about a man name Jed, poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shooting at some food, and up from the ground came the bubbling crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
    Sad thing is, I didn't have to look it up. One of my favorite shows as a kid, so stuck in my brain forever.

    If it helps, I am doing homework before switching. I'm super grateful for this forum!

    Can I revive this thread and ask (cautiously) if Heartland is still Heartless? I get that they lie about the pay, but it's really hard to find trucking companies that will train new drivers and then give them a regional route. I'm in CA trying to avoid the Grapevine and local break-your-back load and unload jobs. I have an appointment with Northern Ref. and am chasing after Danny Herman. Don't know if either will be interested in taking me on. Wondering if Heartland is just a stupid move to even talk with them.

    A company had ambassadors and complainers. Heartland I am sure has guys that love working there and guys that hate working there, like any other company. Trucking is trucking no matter where you go. To me, megas are megas, mom and pops are mom and pops. They are basically the same. If they are willing to put you to work, give them a shot and see. If you give them a legit chance and dont work, try somewhere else
