    Could be. It was a full-size condo.

    They all are full size with gti....

    heartland white/solo trucks are mid roof and red are full size..

    figured if they now have red trucks with gordon on them they might be team trucks..

    That red Gordon truck is what the team drivers get now, its some Heartland rule. As far as no more smurf trucks we will find out in about a year and a half. Also the Gordon reefer trailers are slowly being phased out and all newly acquired reefers will have the Heartland logo on it. We just got in something like 100 reefers and all are Heartland but only Gordon reefer fleet will use them.

    That's a shame they are getting rid of the blue color on their trucks.

    The one thing that really blows my mind is this with heartland. ..why in the world would a Co by a pacific northwest Co and tell people to not chain...that's asinine. .

    Remember they bought assets, not the location. Heartland lives in a non-chain part of the world and my guess is the iron will eventually be phased out system-wide, like the blue. Change is a part of every transition and this one will be no different. I passed a dark red Heartland condo the other day. I wasn't in a position to see if there was another driver but it's the first "new" paint job I've seen.

    One more brick in the wall...

    Probably a good thing I didn't get hired on then. I wasn't too impressed with them. Actually they sounded quite stressed over the phone. Must have something to do with this Heartland buy out.
