    Well it only cost me $12 and these toll booth workers smiled and said hi. In Jersey they snatch the money out of your hand with a scowl and a grunt hahaha

    Also if your coming from I4 East you can jump on the 528 for free which will take you to Taft Vineland as well

    I live in central Florida. It's less than $25 but the time and hassle you save is worth more

    When I used to go to Florida I tried every way to avoid tolls and the time and effort isn't worth it.
    Just calculate your tolls in the rate. Get one of those suction cup sunpass's and you can do it all online.
    I tried beating the tolls down in Miami and it took a few hours more doing so.
    Pay them and add them back. If the load don't pay enough to cover tolls don't take it.
    And figure there is of freight come out of Florida cause it pays so little might as well be none.

    to go to Miami the best way is take the turnpike it off at Fort Pierce Florida Route 70...it's a quarter of a mile over to I-95...take 95 the rest of the way Fort Pierce is a 12 or $14 total...or $34 if you started up in Wildwood

    I got off the FL turnpike in Orlando at one of those exits that was sunpass only about midnight one night. By the time I noticed it there was no way to turn around. They haven't come after me yet.
