    I don't know everything they cover. Do they pay your plates? How many miles are you averaging a week?

    $1.70 sounds good. For a large company with all the perks and discounts I would say yes but on the margin. For me, I am looking at 250 miles in a week as the BEP when I start making more. But you have other issues that come with being independent. So, if I was in your seat I would have to be very unhappy before going independent. And from my seat would have to start seeing my rates drop below $2/mile over several months before I would look at doing it.

    Beautiful evening and trucks all around me idling. Must be nice to be rich. And look, there goes an ATS truck doing 35 in the lot. F'n super truckers. And don't get me started on texting while passing me at 70 mph.
     
    Jarhed1964 Thanks this.

    My "within reason" isn't the same as your "within reason". I was thinking 100 mile radius of Bexar County.
