Heartland Express Company Description
Home is where the heart is, and Heartland Express stays close to home as a short- to medium-haul truckload carrier -- its average trip is about 514 miles. The company mainly operates east of the Rockies; it also offers service in the southwestern US. Although most of its loads go directly from origin to destination, Heartland also operates from regional distribution hubs, which are located near major customers. The regional hubs focus on short-haul freight movements (less than 400 miles). Heartland transports general commodities, including appliances, auto parts, consumer products, food, and paper products.
