    Hey Schneider, I don't recall getting a lot of info on this in training. What's the deal with toll roads? Is the prepass also a toll road pass? I had to visit Chicago and half the roads there are tolls. I hope someone in Green bay isn't getting a nasty phone call from the toll road police. I've spoken to a few other SNI drivers, they tell me the prepass is my toll pass. But last week while passing though Ohio, I could not get Navigo to get me on the Ohio Turnpike, it kept objecting that it was "unauthorized"??? Yet, when I went through the toll booths, they opened automatically.

    Help!

    Why are you not asking your driver manager this?

    Maybe I don't want him to know I'm ignorant on this topic.

    All tolls are paid EXCEPT THE OHIO/INDIANA TURNPIKE AND THE FLORIDA CAUSEWAY or what ever they call the Toll Road in Florida. Chicago area is paid as are the ones in the North East.

    Just curious, Why would Schneiderr Pay tolls in Pa,Ny,Nj,Il,md,etc... But Not Oh,or In?

    Makes no sense...........How are Guys supposed to get from Chicago to Lets say newark,nJ Without using the Oh,In toll,, Take Hwy 6 or hwy 20?

    Yeah,If You Have all day and Night, A Big Inconvenience......


    Come to think about it.. I Never see Pumpkins on the Ohio Pike, Never really payed attention Before,But now that you mention it..........

    They just won't pay the Ohio/Indiana guess there's to many other routes.

    I was told that the Ohio/Indiana turnpike is too expensive so they route us on 20 instead.

    I don't drive for SNI but there is no way the toll road in OH or IN is more expensive than PA.

    BS. VERY cheap relatively speaking. Ohio is like 18 start to finish maybe thats Indiana. But there are viable US routes that parallel soooooo. You CAN take the tollroads and SNI will pay BUT they will deduct from your check. There is a handout of which roads that arent authorized ask for it at an OC fueldesk. One in Va I think one in the plains states? And the ones mentioned above. 294 AROUND chicago IS the route to go unless you deliver IN chitown. I also took the PA turnpike as much as possible. Smooth, efficient, less traffic and steadier speed. Less work driving all the way round. NEVER heard a word.
     
    Ultra7 Thanks this.
