    I usually keep a handful of quarters, but realized I was short for a coin only toll. I was on hwy 4 leaving Tuttle, headed towards I35. Will they just mail the fine to my company, or is there a special place I can go to face the firing squad?

    Toll was a $1.75. There was no instructions on the machine as far as a website to go to like IL has. I'm just trying to be proactive. The rusty sign stating "payment of toll strictly enforced" was really scary...

    Oklahoma non manned toll booths don't count axles. I toss in the two axle fare, get a green and go.

    There's a special place in hell for those who don't pay tolls.

    Never not paid one but unless there is a cop there you are good to go. I look at it like bank robbery, I'd never do it but I could care less that others do.

    If the OTA cared about the $15 bucks I've stiffed them over the last 30 years they would install post 1975 technology at their unmanned booths.

    One of the smaller toll roads in OK 3-4 years ago.

    I got Cash to pay the Toll, but didn't know the Toll Booth would be unmanned.
    Had to pay with Coins..only had like a $20 Bill or something.

    I just stood there for a minute...and took of without paying.
    Never heard anything about it from my Company (Swift at the time).

    I now ask the tollbooth attendant how much I'll need and have them give me the change. First time though I didn't have enough and just threw what I had in the basket, maybe .75. Never heard anything about it.

    This was an unmanned coin only from the seventies. I didn't even realize there would be a toll. There was no last free exit sign, just an on ramp to another toll road. It's clearly marked toll road on the atlas but ol just got his first year in super trucker got lazy on his trip planning this morning.

    Ive been setup. Reaks of conspiracy down here in OK...
