    I believe I read on here somewhere that EQ continued to cover the truck for 15 cpm after it was paid off.

    It's true. You can choose to stay on the warranty plan after its paid off. It's a safe road, but you are still at the LP rate. I chose the less safe road and switched to the O/o rate and pay for my own repairs.

    I am, when I get things squared away with my truck. I need to get a new motor ID sticker put on it. I'd like to get new tires, but I still have some life in these.
    With recent changes, I'm thinking of taking the jump, but only after I have my "what if?" Fund built up more.

    Right now with fsc, I'm getting 1.40 loaded. 90cpm empty.
    The big thing keeping me around is the paid empty miles. Deadheading 200 miles for free is hard to wrap my head around. I guess there is the argument that the higher rates out there would make up for the unpaid empty miles

    You got to stop thinking of miles. You will be dealing with % of paid load if you go to LS. So you are also running shorter miles at much higher pay rate. Take 350 miles at 2500.00 you get 71%.
