Heartland Express Inc. has announced the integration and rebranding of the U.S. operations of Contract Freighters, Inc. $(CFI)$ into Heartland Express, effective December 31, 2025. The move is aimed at enhancing consolidated operating and financial performance, following improvements in CFI's operating performance and the completion of key technology transitions in 2025. CFI drivers will benefit from access to Heartland's pay and benefits packages and can choose to operate within other company fleets, including Millis Transfer and Smith Transport. CFI's Mexican subsidiary, CFI Logistica, will remain unaffected, and all current CFI employees will be offered continued employment. Heartland Express will maintain existing CFI offices in Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. The company is currently evaluating any potential impacts on CFI's goodwill and intangible asset values as a result of the integration.
