Home Weekly Driving at Heartland Express
Heartland Express is a major irregular-route truckload carrier focused on short-to-medium haul lanes. Known for getting drivers home more frequently than typical OTR carriers, Heartland operates primarily in the eastern two-thirds of the U.S.
Home weekly trucking jobs offer a middle ground between local and OTR driving. You typically run regional routes within 500-800 miles of your home terminal Monday through Friday, returning home on weekends. This schedule appeals to drivers who want higher miles and pay than local work but still want consistent family time.
