Aside from speaking to other drivers, how do you research a potential employer? What are some of the things you look for when going into an interview? What questions do you ask during an interview to figure out if its a legitimate place to work or its ########. I'm in the search phase and have a few interviews lined up next week. I want to make sure I'm making the most informed decision so I'm not looking to jump ship in less than a year. Any assistance is appreciated

go the the FMCSA site and run the companies you are interested in. It will show their OOS (Out of Service) percentage and also the national average OOS %. Companies with an OOS higher the the national average may not be the best choice.
You can also see their inspection history for the different categories.

When I was looking I would drive over to the company and take a look at their yards. I was looking to see how new and well maintained their equipment was. When I was in the interview I asked about driver retention, actual runs and a breakdown of the pay

I Google the company and read reviews, and I go to Indeed.com and read company reviews. Read a lot of them, not just a few, and you’ll start to get a feeling for the company.
