Description of Business
Heartland Express, Inc. ("Heartland" or the "Company") is a short-to-medium haul truckload carrier with corporate headquarters in North Liberty, Iowa and operating regional terminal locations in eight states outside of Iowa. The Company provides regional dry van truckload services from its eight regional operating centers plus its corporate headquarters. The Company transports freight for major shippers and generally earns revenue based on the number of miles per load delivered. The Company's primary traffic lanes are between customer locations east of the Rocky Mountains. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company expanded to the Western United States with the opening of a terminal in Phoenix, Arizona. The keys to maintaining a high level of service are the availability of late-model equipment and experienced drivers.
