Nominations for worst co. To drive for in three decades. Heartland express # 1.

Doll Parts....It is gratifying to see that there is at least one, if not two terminals that can be considered as acceptable. Unfortunately, here on the East Coast, the terminals are not clean, nor do they operate them up to the same standard as those on the West Coast. Regarding my husband having a Masters Degree, I detected some level of sarcasm coming from you. Yet.....That is a fact. And he has been doing this type of work, by choice---Up until the present time.
As for your statement to the effect that your spouse has never experienced any deliberate routing in the opposite direction, congratulations to you. The people in your terminal are obviously good, decent people. I strongly suggest you read posts by other drivers, not just by me. Because several, if not many, have mentioned the same behavior by Heartland Express. I still think that the showers they have for drivers here on the East Coast, is a reflection of what they think about their drivers. Before you make statements (I assume not based on first hand or personal experience) you should go see those terminals. Only after doing so, should you express your sentiments about the showers on the East Coast.
I think you'll pass on my "wisdom" which by the way is not wisdom, but purely personal experience(s) The comments made alluding to the mafia, are my own personal opinion....Yet....Such opinion is based on personal experiences. You have no idea as to what I am talking about, because your life has not YET been affected by the actions of this company. Reading it is one thing. Going through it, personally, is another story. We were never looking for the perfect apple, because frankly I don't think such thing exists. On the other hand, we were not expecting for my husband's professional and personal life to be so totally destroyed and ruined by these people. Again, you will have no idea whatsoever, what it is like, until you personally are put in that predicament.

 

Yes!!! Doll Parts. More dangerous than the mafia. Because when when a person chooses to work for the mafia, they at least know where they stand. They know the rules, and they know the consequences. With Heartland, however, it is impossible to know when one's last day,or even your last hour will be. A driver can sacrifice his or her sleep by trying to comply with their requests to take loads that they know perfectly well, cannot be delivered on time. As a driver, you are seldom home. Perhaps once per month, and even that will be as if pulling teeth. As if by actually giving you the time off, they are doing you a great favor. As if the driver doesn't deserve this time home. There is such lack of humanity in this company. You are good to them, only to the extent and for as long as you serve their purposes. What matters to them is the bottom line. And that....Doll Parts, is what I meant, when I said that they don't respect their drivers. They lie, they cheat, they go to extremes to accomplish their goals. All at the expense of, and on the back of their drivers. I read my post again, and you were correct. I should not have said that "All" terminal showers are filthy. I should have said: Heartland Express's showers for their drivers on the East Coast, are filthy. Visit the one in PA., and you'll know this is NOT an exaggeration on my part.
