2013 Top 5 Reefer Companies??

I'm thinking of going back to OTR hauling reefers since I really enjoyed that type of freight when I was OTR. I haul auto parts short haul now. It's a good gig, but the pay is not where I need to be. So, I'm looking at OTR perishable haulers and I'm wondering what are the top 5, in your opinion. I used to run for CRE, so if anyone suggests them I will personally come to you and wash your mouth out with soap lol.

I am in Dayton, OH near the cross hairs of I-70 and I-75, so I think I'm in a good spot freight-wise. Right now, I'm looking at Shaffer, Stevens and Central. Maybe Prime as well. I see Knight suggested often, but I'm kind of on the fence in considering them in fear they would turn out to be like their relative, CRE. My kids and ex may be moving to Cali, so I wont need to be home often when that happens.

So, again, what companies would be your top 5?

Thanks!

 

Anything to get me where my kids are when possible.

 

JCT was one of my first thoughts in the past, but I hadn't seen any of their trucks lately, so I had not considered them. I have always heard a lot of good about them.

Thanks for your suggestions!

 

Company for now. I did the lease with CRE and lost my butt lol. I wont lease or buy until I can either put 50-75% down at a dealer, pay cash for a good used rig or have 3-6 months operating expenses saved.

 

I have considered a move. And it would be relativly easy since I live full-time in a motorhome. But I don't want to pull the trigger on that until I know the ex decided to stay in Cali perm.

Funny thing about craigslist, that is where I found my current job lol. Ended up not being a sham or some bottom feeder lol.
