How musc money do you carry?

Little as possible

Tolls are paid by you and reimbursed or by using things such as EZpass.

Comcheck you are giving a very long number that you take to a fuel desk.
They check your ID and ask you a few questions about your company and you can cash the check.

 

I carry $160/week, and don't have to pay for Tolls. My company gives us Toll Cards to use for Ohio, and Indiana. Any other tolls are covered by EZ Pass.

 

I wouldn't do that if i were you, if you have a pretty good local job, i'd stay there. You might make a little more money doing otr but your expenses are going to go way up.

 

i cary 50 to 100 on me in the truck my company has ezpass and wont automaticly reimburse for the ohio or indiana pikes theres a couple of others like down in florida but you can get auth prior to hitting them and get them reimbursed. for ok pike you pay out of pocket then get reimbursed.

 

Sorry to interrupt your post but I use to have a car like that. But mine was a 1970 GTX, orange, 440 with a pistol grip shifter. It was the coolest car I ever had. Sold it for 500 bucks cause I needed the money in the early 80s. Man I wish I woul have kept that car.

 

You want me to slap you now or later? I only wish I was the guy who bought it off you for $500... Did you here the guy saying SUCKER as he drove off in your car?

 

With EZ-Pass, and credit cards for Indiana and Ohio, I don't spend much on work except for occasional bridges that aren't on the toll system, a weighing on scales when called for, and the occasional item I need for the truck. And all of those things get reimbursed. I typically will pick up about 150 per week for pocket money, and don't do that each week if I don't need it. I always have the credit card if I need it for something.

Paid a wrecker bill once after getting stuck, got paid back next week, bought fuel once because of a pump that wouldn't accept the fuel card, got it back as well.

It's funny, but it used to seem that each year, within the first 2-3 days of the year, I used to get sent to Philadelphia or somewhere, and it always seemed to be before I got my new toll card before EZ Pass. I always paid the tolls in cash and got it back in a few days.
