Let's start off with what a joke they are. Thank God for having a new job to go to and not having to put up with thier b.s. no more. I will let you know that the pay is good miles are decent and you have to stick up for yourself and not take anything ###### from your f.m. I can tell you that some of thier company policies are really messed up. 1) You can idle the truck if the outside temp is above 77 degrees or below 45 degrees, but if your idle time is greater than 25% your truck will cut back from 64 m.p.h. to 60 m.p.h. 2) If you go on vacation, you will be told to clean your truck out, we might have a truck for you when you come back. 3) There is no such thing as a regional driver, you go where they want you or you will sit. 4) You have to go through terminal inspection when pulling into a terminal then take your log book in to show your f.m. before you get your load assignment. 5) If you don't get your paperwork in on time they will hold your paycheck. So if you like being treated like a child this is the company for you. I could go on and on but why should I when this is my last week at heartless express. Being at three different terminals in the last couple of days and drivers #####in and complaining it all make sense to me. So if you want to work at heartless express, I suggest you talk to several different drivers and see if this is the company you want to work for or not. As for me I'm gone to do what will make me happy and not worry about where I will be at from day to day or when I will make it home.

Good Luck, hope you find what you're looking for. -
I made it through 1 1/2 days of their orientation of them telling me what I couldn't do and what I had to do. Listening to every driver I spoke to while on breaks complain. After lunch I just told them that I didn't think we would be a good match . To their credit they did get me back to the bus station and they did buy my ticket home.

Heartless is basically a bad place to work. In 35 years, it is the ONLY company I've worked for that required me to pay for my own physical. When I did 6 months with them in '08, they would sit me up to FOUR DAYS a week - uncompensated, of course. What topped it off for me was them trying to force me to work on Christmas Day!! Unloaded in Assonet, MA and they wanted me to go PA to pick up a load to deliver the day AFTER Christmas. And here's the clincher - I was only 2 hours from the house in Southern Maine when they tried to send me the other way. I told them I was all done, deadheaded home to Maine, and drove their truck all the way back to Carlisle, PA the following week. Don't you know, they didn't pay me a dime for my last week!
