    That sucks, driver. Unfortunately I think a snafu like this gets us all eventually if we run OTR.

    Barefoot. In snow that about reaches the top of your steers.
    In snow that reaches above the level of that low slung, fabulous plastic bumper on the Cascadia you and the OL used to run those loads of drugs.

    Seems legit.

    When will it stop?

    The rand tablet I have calculate estimated tool costs on route im not sure how accurate it is unless I’m extremely pressed for time and there is more than 1hr difference I take the non toll route

    If you're going up in the northeast, just stop at your bank and withdraw a wheelbarrow full of $20's. When you get to a toll booth, just hand a shovel full out the window.

    That’s true to an extent. In my home state NJ, you’re better off eating the tolls and charging the customer or broker. So many god #### traffic lights in that state what you save in tolls you’ll use up in fuel and wear tear from all the stop and go.

    Toll Guru app: I love it, have it on the phone and the laptop in the back of the truck for planning during dock time. However, I logged on today (desktop version) and it wants me to start paying MONTHLY for truck routing. I call BS!

    I switched over to my phone and it worked as usual (free) but the desktop version is a lot easier to use if you're sitting down planning out routes.

    Just one more way they've figured out how to take money from truckers. What do ya do?
