    Central isn't a mega-carrier. Large company but not a mega-carrier. Still a private company. There is a noticeable difference too! Central treats you like a human being not a number. One of the main reasons I recommend them is because on many occasions they really went above and beyond to help us out. They really strive to help their drivers succeed and that is very important. Also their driver dispatcher ratio is very low. This allows for a more personal relationship with your dispatcher which is your number one key to success!

    I can only speak for Central, both my wife and I drove team for them and really had a good experience there. Like any company they have their good and bad points. They really do have top notch equipment and keep all their stuff maintained to the highest standards.

    Not a mega carrier you say? As far as I'm concerned any company with over a 1,000 trucks is what I consider a mega carrier. I know a few ex dispatchers from Central and they hated the company culture there and it is ran by Jerry Moyes Daughter if I'm correct? Swift founder and owner aka part of the old Dick Simon debacle that took place years ago.

    With your definition of a MEGA carrier then I work for a mega carrier. Landstar has 5000+ trucks
