    Is there a weight limit on them? I’m wanting to run 130 but never used toll roads much.
    Bob was a tight wad but the new boss got us all prepass that also pays tolls now.

    never mind. Sorry my googlefoo was weak.
    I had used them before but mainly in the early hours just like with express lanes lol i didn’t know if it was on the up and up.

    Unless he got his prepass from Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas it does not work for toll roads in those states. If your boss is OK with being billed by mail though you can run TX tolls as long as you're legal weight.

    Yeah I use Kansas Ktag for those, used to have TXTag years ago, but it kept not reading.

    I run 130 (The Pickle) weekly. Any Texas toll tag will work, along with Kansas K-Tag and Oklahoma Pike Pass. You can also pay by mail but it's more expensive.

    According to the Pike Pass website it is accepted in Texas.

    The weight limit is the same as all the other state-maintained highways in Texas: 80k unless you have a Weight Tolerance Permit valid for the relevant counties.
