    I dumped NY at the end of ‘21. Thankfully i did that so now no Ny & no Ct. i couldn’t be happier. I’m quite happy just running around PA,NJ, DE,MD, & VA. With the occasional Fl or Oh Trip.

    Why not just be more accurate in the thread title and remove HUT???

    I stopped running Connecticut when this went in to effect. Not only is it expensive to run there but the fact that you have to report your miles monthly.

    I think Oregon is the biggest ####### as far as the states goes. I ran i84 where it cuts the corner from ID to WA back and forth last week which is about 400 miles. Came our to just over $100 for just that.

    actuslly curious if it still needs to be paid if going for repairs, they will probably want their extra $0.90 to enfield though….

    At the moment the rate for the run I've been running up there is still worth it with the tax but I never see an open scale these days on 84 so I might be tempted to make an, ahem, adjustment now and then.

    Holy crap! At least you still call it the Tappan Zee! I guess I won’t be visiting you now that I’m back in a truck. The monthly reporting is BS. NY has gone to annual reporting for me. How did your customers feel about this Ruthless? Did they care?
