Racist trainer at Heartland Express.

Take the money! Money is the only form of communcation corporations understand in cases like this. Taking what you wrote as gospel, and based on the levelheadedness of your narrative I believe you speak the truth, you are due.

It is OK to have an opinion but not always OK to express it. It makes no difference whether you are in an office, on the oil field, or in a truck, an individuals behavior in the work place should be professional.

 

Everyone has been subjected to racism. The very term "Native American" points to racism. Come from Russia to the US, you are not called Russian American. Come from China, you are not called Chinese American. But there are Spanish Americans, Afro Americans, and Native Americans. Its racism, pure and simple. So what? Be racist. If I invite you over to my house, youre a friend. If you consider yourself a Native American while youre over my house, then you are my racist friend. LOL

When the time comes to where your being Native American would prevent you from sharing a meal at my house then you are no longer my friend and are just a racist. So be it. I dont have black friends, white friends, native friends. I have friends and girlfriends. My friends can come over to the house and drink my beer. My girlfriends call me daddy.

 

So you feel that a couple hundred thousand dollars will make up for the racial injustice and emotional distress you suffered. It is about the money. Its your chance to get back at the Man!
"Lets make our money the American way! Sue someone!"

You sir, are in for a rude awakening.

 

You do realize that Heartland Express does not train, never has trained, and doesn't intend to ever train. We don't even run a refresher program right now.

So either the poster is talking about another Heartland Express company or he's spinning a wild story.

And I am qualified to speak on the issue as I work for Heartland Express and I've been here long enough to know Wise One when he was a driver. I'm not here to debate or argue the merits of Heartland Express or any company for that matter. But I did feel it necessary to set the record straight.

Carry on.

 

Yep, there was no training at Heartland. And I wonder who Jon is, what department and terminal does he work out of??? They say top pay is 70k. If I had a tape like this i would have at least got 10 years of pay, to wait out what was put on my DAC report.

 

wow i never knew heartland did training either.. sounds like a tall tell just to stir the pot..stop the hatin

 

hahaha....and that trainer didnt support govt healthcare either!! More proof he is a fat racist!! Probably idles his truck to burn fuel and drown polar bears! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! I need sleep...ATL Sucks!

 

its funny that u had a trainer, we at heartland dont have trainers,,period,u r required to have at least two years of CURRENT experiance, i have driven here for a few years now and as a matter of fact i came back to this company after trying flatbed for a while, great company to work for, just dont exspect to run more than 1800 miles a week with any consistentcy, again,,no trainers here, if u have been out of the trking buizz for 90 days, u can go out with a refresher driver who will evaluate u, but not train u, as far as racism, who knows, but i can tell u this, as a biracial (black/white) have never had any problems like u described, also this company is roughly 60% wht
20% blk,,10% other...,so u can can the lies here and now,,,,, g buddy

 

What is the other 10% lol.
I like Heartland so far. But this thread is wrong. I do not know if the person that started it was confused, thinking it was another company or what. I have just ignored the thread figuring it will fade away eventually.
I have had one week under 2000 miles. But I am out of Columbus, so I think I am just lucky to be in an area with a good freight base.
