Heartland Express (HTLD) Chief Executive Officer Mike Gerdin commented on the quarterly operating results and ongoing initiatives of the Company, “Our consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflect a combination of adverse weather experienced in January and February, tariff uncertainties amongst our customers in March, along with prolonged industry-wide challenges where operating cost inflation continued to outpace customer freight demand and freight rate improvements.
