Google “local trucking company in (city state)” that’s what I’ve done over the years. Indeed.com might yield some results as well.
If you feel you made a good choice with your current company, why do you want to change? What is your pay per mile now? Do you just want something more regional?
I know of several reefer outfits that are good companies. More information please.

Not bored, just feel like could use a change. The challenge of finding 10hr parking has become less stressful, but remains the most difficult daily task. This country which used to seem so vast, has become smaller. Think I'll try CDL training, while avoiding OTR training. Perhaps a dedicated regional with more regular hometime. I might be a bit spoiled as the freight market slowdown and spot market decline has had no impact. And my trucks have been well cared for with no-questions-asked maintenance and repair.

CajunWon, you really have a decent gig in this economy and if you make a move it might just be a lateral one. I’m considering a move but also ready to stay where I am unless a move would have definite advantages. Your CPM is pretty good, but how many miles per week do you average?
The company I drive for does re-hires on a regular basis. Last week I met two drivers at our terminal who quit Helwig and went with another refrigerated outfit. They only lasted 8 months before they came back. I’m talking to you about this, but I’m talking to myself at the same time. Slow and cautious, man!
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
As mentioned, you can search Google for jobs nearby where you live.
My current company, Barr-Nunn has a terminal in Charlotte. I drive Northeast regional and get home every week for a FULL weekend and the pay is very good. Not sure if they offer regional positions for drivers living in NC. You can contact them and ask though.
*I only mentioned my company specifically bc they may offer what the OP is looking for.
