WyDOT: $116 is I-80 toll threshold for trucks

Their revenue will go up for the first month or so. But when companies start to see bills showing up in their mail for $120 that will STOP in a hurry.

Take SwiftandCo. Lets say they have 50 trucks a day across WY, thats probably not too much of a wild ### guess.......

50x$120 = $6000 hit they do not plan on paying very often!

Also drivers will soon figure out a way around it.


Once again I stress that they did not believe me that this would happen.
They think that it would take too much longer for a load to go over 70 or 40 or 90 and that when companies sit down and do the math they will just pay the toll.
I tried and tried to tell them that it don't work that way, but they did not listen.

 

Another thing the politicians think is that when they give back a 3rd lane to the motoring public they'll all become happy contented drivers as they pay up the $120 bux to drive across WY.

How delusional!!!!!

 

They figure with the extra miles and time required to feasibly go around you'll just eat the toll and roll.

I wish I had a video of the whole thing. Ya'll would laugh or get pissed off.

 

I've got $50 that says there is no MIGHT!!!

 

They still have to get WY legislature approval and US congress approval.


I had to go get my atlas. The first toll collection spot is planned for between Rock Springs and Wamsutter where there is no good alternative.

You could take 287 n out of Rawlins to Lander and then 28 back south to 191 back to 80. 245 miles one way.

Would you run those miles to avoid $120? and an additional almost 5 hrs?



One way or the other you'll pay. And this is what they are counting on. Those miles I mentioned will cost you .49 a mile to avoid the toll.
What is your cost per mile?
