Heartland Express, Inc. has announced the acquisition of Contract Freighters' non-dedicated U.S. dry van and temperature-controlled truckload business and CFI Logistica operations in Mexico for $525 million. This acquisition, combined with the recent Smith Transport purchase, will position the consolidated Heartland Express group as the 8th largest truckload fleet in the U.S. and the 3rd largest irregular route, asset-based truckload carrier. CFI will continue to operate under its existing brand and leadership, leveraging its strengths in the Midwestern corridor and cross-border expertise.

Heartland Express's director of corporate maintenance, Bruce Hudson, is implementing changes to tractor electrical systems to better support drivers' needs during off-duty hours. These modifications include a larger alternator and relocating batteries to the frame rails for better cooling, aiming to power accessories like microwaves and CPAP devices more efficiently. Hudson's goal is to improve driver comfort and satisfaction by enhancing the existing electrical system rather than adding complex new components.

Heartland Express reported a Q4 net loss of $19.4 million due mainly to a $19 million impairment charge from integrating the CFI fleet, though adjusted EPS beat consensus. Revenue dropped 26% year-over-year, but the adjusted operating ratio showed sequential improvement. The company is actively consolidating operations, pruning unprofitable lanes, and strengthening its balance sheet, aiming for long-term profitability and a debt-free status.
