Heartland Express Great Compant to work for

Very good company to work for. Had to take a family leave from Heartland Express, Personal Injuries at home need to be dealt with, involving 8 to 10 weeks at least. Last truck hurt to turn in, the only 13 speed in there fleet no someone else will be driving it. 390K they say it gos away at 400K.
Worked for the Phoenix Yard Southwest Fleet, Tacomia WA dispatch was very happy with them.
Will try and go back when the wifey is all healed up.

 

No, Heartland Express runs all 50 state, you pick how you want to run. I choose to run Georgia Pacific Southwest, for personal reasons, I ran most of the time LA/Phx to Salt Lake area, not always but mostly. I had runs from Reno to Central Valley and LA, Also had runs that ran from Phx to San Diego.
As in all companies the driver manager has a lot to do with what drivers think about companies. I can only tell you that my experiences with Heartlands shops and managment wer mostly positive.
They do not encourage chains or driving in hazardous consitions, never had that to be a problem.

 

Working out great, CFI drivers are still driving CFI branded equipment, and running by CFI rules. They were purchased but not disolved. In fact my driver manager was Kim Gordon ( of Gordon Trucking) she was and is very good to work with.
You can find what ever you look for in any company, you wander around looking for Bad its there. But if your looking for a postive experience its there as well. I have nothing negitive to say about my experience with Heartland Express, From recruiting to running the lanes I want to run all were as promised, they equipment was maintained well, ran good no issues.
The driver rooms at the yards could use some work, but I try to stay out the yard no matter who I driver for.
