Heartland Express, Inc., is a short and medium-range vehicle carrier company headquartered in North Liberty, Iowa. The company provides regional dry cargo vehicle services through its regional terminals and corporate headquarters. The company transports goods for the main cargo owners and earns revenue mainly based on the number of miles required per load. The company's main transportation corridor is between customer locations in the Rocky Mountains East. In 2005, the company began to expand into the western United States from a terminal site in Phoenix, Arizona, and ended the expansion in 2008 by purchasing a terminal site in Dallas, Texas. The company believes that the key to maintaining a high level of customer service is the availability of late-model equipment and experienced drivers. Management believes that the company's service standards and equipment accessibility have become a core carrier for many of its major customers. Heartland Express was founded by Russell A. Gerdin in 1978 and became A public company in November 1986.
