ST. JOSEPH, Mo., March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Heartland Trailways is proud to announce that it has become TSX Approved as a safer motor carrier, having successfully completed the Transportation Safety Exchange Comprehensive Review (TSX-CR). Transportation Safety Exchange (TSX) is the ground transportation industry's only independent rating organization that inspects, monitors and reports the safety performance of motor carriers.

"We have always held safety as our top priority. With the new addition of our TSX Approved status, we are able provide our clients with one more level of confidence and ensure the travelling public of our commitment to our slogan of being 'Driven by Excellence.'"
"Being TSX Approved demonstrates a motor carrier's dedication to better safety standards," said TSX President Patrick Labriola. "In today's crowded marketplace, it is important for customers to have a way to identify the safer carriers on the road. With TSX Approval, carriers demonstrate that they are making safety a top priority."
Passenger trip organizers and sponsors all bear responsibility and potential risk for operator performance and safety. They must demonstrate that they have used the highest standard of care possible in selecting a motor carrier.

"We believe that being TSX Approved and the weight that it places on safety operations not only at inspection time, but more importantly, on-going, will result in additional business for our company.

TSX narrows the playing field by vetting the safety performance of companies who want to be part of the program, and makes the selection of safer motor carriers much easier for potential clients," says Nichols.
