I don't think we have any members that work, or have worked, for Heartland. That is not necessarily a bad thing, we just don't have any members that are employed with them currently. Maybe you can be our first...! I would recommend calling them directly and speaking with a recruiter in reference to your questions.

Looking for additional information I. heartland express, web says somethings but not In deepth such as they have APU'S In 2014 and newer, inverters, home time 3 out of four weekends on Florida regional and Southeast Regional, pay 40-50 depending on experience and ect.... Is any of the correct?
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
APU:
Auxiliary Power Unit
On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.
Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.
