    I think Heartland acquired GTI because of their west coast presence. I wonder if Heartland will let GTI's fleet be equipped with APU's or will do away with them??? Looking forward to reading blogs particularly Joes blog about the changes.

    All those giving congratulations must not be Gordon drivers.. major step down in my opinion.

    Hope they keep the best of Gordon intact, or the previous poster's response may just be a huge understatement.

    I'm not choosing to congratulate but would like to point out key facts of this acquisition. Will changes be made??? More than likely. What changes are made is to be determined. I ultimately think Heartland might adapt GTI standard for equipment rather than going barebones basic. What I have yet to hear is what changes will be made to Valley Freightliner; GTI's own Freightliner dealership.
