    Drivers at Tyson Foods seem to stick around for long periods of time.
    Pay increases and decent trucks make it a desirable place to work. This isn't a food service company; it's a refrigerated trucking company. KW, Volvo, Mack and Freightliner trucks with APU.

    I think I ruled out Crete a while ago because of the driver facing cameras . Not willing to deal with that.

    This is a company that actually has contacted me alot already. The pay seems good but I've read some extremely worrying reviews about how they treat their drivers.

    That's kinda hard to believe company drivers can chose their own loads gotta be some catch to that.

    USA Truck is one of the middle-ish options I was looking at. Ive been keeping track of companies sort of like this :

    Lower end : (Mega carriers simular to one Im at now but may pay a bit more)
    + Swift + CR England
    + JB Hunt + PRIME Inc

    Middle : (A step up from my current company but there are still drawbacks)
    + USA Truck + Marten Transport
    + Western Express + EPES Transport

    High end : (Clearly among the best jobs I could get, but the chances I am accepted/hired may be low)

    + GP Transco
    + Melton Truck Lines ***Don't want to do flatbed but it seems like a great company from what ive heard and who ive talked to **

    Really trying to vet through some reviews and talk to some people from the Middle of that list. Theres seemingly a decent amount of good and bad things and this is common for alot of mega carriers.

    You could say get away from mega carriers , I have been writing some names down of smaller companies as well. I'll be doing a lot more research into the smaller places in the coming weeks (my year contract with my current company is up in May).
