    So I was actually wondering. How does a company count as a mega? Like how many trucks do they need and other stuff like that

    Then again, i would say a company that has hundreds or thousands of trucks, that has the culture of a mega.....student training, specific places for fuel, all repairs at TA, etc.

    They need to have highly administrative rules. Rules that don't comprehend the driver, only the company's interests.

    Mega is not a hard scientific classification. If they hire thousands of drivers per year, that's a mega. If they only hire 999 drivers per year, that's darn close to mega. Mega means different things 5o different people.

    My opinion is that a mega is the company that feels the need to govern the truck at 65mph or less.
    If they cant trust you to drive safely, they just cant trust you.
