Which Companies to look at....

I guess to each his/her own. I did reefer 10 years ago and hated it, mainly for the above mentioned wait times to be loaded. Then you have to be mindful of a different fuel tank. I am not knocking it though, different strokes for different folks. I know some guys who think the world of skateboard driving, again, did it once, hated it. People have their own preferences and there is money to be made in this industry be it reefer, van, flat etc... just depends on which carrier you go with.
