Heartland express-90 day review

This is the same BS all these CPM companies tell their drivers on how to make money. Sorry, didn't believe it the first time I heard it don't believe it now.

It's the drivers..... BS!
We offer 4k miles.... BS!
We take care of you... BS!
The planners know how you work... BS!
The drivers just can't figure how to work efficiently. ... BS!

 

I'm really sorry if you guys don't know how to work a truck or the business. You know how there's always drivers happy with the company they work for... Well I'm one of them, and that's because I work the business. You don't have to believe me, I could care less! But taking the word of someone who used to work there over someone that does is, well... Pretty dumb.

And again, GTI is NOT on HL dispatch! GTI operates autonomous of HL. Yes, we pull their trlrs and yes we pull their freight, but our OTR is still intact and my devision, OTR, does no regional runs except maybe to get closer to the next load.

Believe what you want, but I have always found that the cry babies on the bulletin boards are the very same ones sitting in truck stops waiting on their 34 instead of running recap...

 

I won't be OTR for 2200 miles a week, I can guarantee you that! If my miles get cut, I'll go elsewhere...

 

is this lilke 2200 in a 7 day period ?

 

The last time I was in Iowa City, there was at least 60 or 70 brand new white Freightliners in the yard WITH APUs waiting to be decaled. I'm told there are no plans of merging the two companies. Larry promised at the time of the buyout there would be no changes and with two of his kids on the HL board of directors, I tend to agree, since there haven't been any in over two years now.

 

Must be really slow and steady... It's been what, over two years now? All I see is more freight, more miles and more money. If these are the changes you're talking about, I like it!

 

Luckily if this happens I'm with one of the last companies to give long haul. Avg 3200 miles 5-6 days home everyweek, no govern, no micro management, great cpm, and all for a somewhat rookie making more than guys with majors for 9 years. These big guys are snakes, everyone of them promised 3000 miles and new trucks, some kids bit and found out the hard way. I've heard Ashley furniture is top notch.

Also side note. Walmart docks are the shiznit, plenty of room, great areas (downtown Colfax), their receivers are top notch (lol), and if you catch it just right you can join their Walmart group chants!
