Company Overview

Heartland Express is a North Liberty, Iowa dry van truckload carrier that grew by acquisition, most recently taking in Smith Transport and CFI, and now runs regional and over-the-road freight across the country. The FMCSA lists Heartland Express Inc of Iowa with 3,320 power units and 2,539 drivers on its May 2026 filing. Heartland has always sold itself on newer equipment and short, predictable regional lanes rather than long-haul miles. The roadside record: 2,939 inspections, 23 driver out-of-service orders, about 0.8 percent, and 273 vehicle orders, about 9 percent, both under the national averages, which fits a carrier that turns its trucks over quickly. There are 123 recordable crashes over two years. Heartland is on this list from driver reports. It has historically wanted experienced drivers with clean records and has not run a training program, so it is not the first call for a driver straight out of the SAP evaluation. It becomes a realistic call once you have some verifiable time since the violation and the follow-up testing plan is well along. Ask the recruiter what their current rule is on Clearinghouse violations, how many years since, and whether the regional divisions have the same standard as the over-the-road fleet.

SAP Friendly — Driver-reported

Heartland Express is on this list because drivers have been hired here after a Clearinghouse violation. Hiring policy moves with the freight and insurance markets, so confirm with the recruiter when you call.
