    Ok, as often as Prime has you guys hopping down I-44, you'd think they'd give you Pikepasses. I know you can get reimbursed, or get the FM to release you some money, and you scan your receipts in and not get "charged," but wouldn't it eliminate a buttload of paperwork if they were provided? And save some money on the tolls?

    They DON'T?! Almost worth buying your own.

    They give you an EZPass. OK's Pikepass doesn't work on that. I wish it would, since he's pulling the money for the current trip out of the bank. Easier to do that than get the FM to approve the advance. He'll turn in the receipts and we'll get reimbursed.

    I've often wondered this myself. I think its mostly because its a rather cheap toll, they just don't want to bother getting the passes.

    Ive got 3 toll receipts to turn in for this trip alone... totaling 14.25. Thats just from I44. The ones on I44 before you get to I40 are 16.50 a pop, 47.25 bucks if you stay on 44 through the state. You can get the pikepass n then turn it in for reimbursment, somehow.

    Personally I haven't had that many trips down 44 to justify getting the pass. Only three times all the way through for the full $33 in just over two years. And probably about 5 times to Big Cabin which is $8.50. I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere. If you get the pass for OK, how about Kansas, Florida, California, and Texas? Just looking at it from a business perspective, there's just not enough tolls on any of them to warrant it in my opinion. But hey, I'll take the passes if they start handing them out!
