Finishing first year

Hey everyone been lurking this board for awhile. Need some advice please. I am on the tail end of my first year on the road teaming. So I team with a friend that is a lease op for a mega carrier. He has fifteen years driving exp and I thought it would be a good idea after getting cdl and the team training time(with him) to stay on truck get more drive time and learn more before deciding what to do. I think I'm not going to stay at this company and lease a truck. I showed contract to a few people one which owned a heavy haul company. They both said very one sided contract. So with that said. I really would like to know what are good companies to start looking at. Every company paints such a great picture of what money you can make. I am not a job hopper I have only had two jobs in my life both over ten years. So I like to get as much info as possible before making a big move. I live in ohio and it seems as there is a good deal of freight and companies that run out of here. Any help and info would be great.

Hey thanks for replying. It's really hard sifting through the bs in this business. I really like it though. So far.
