    I'm a company driver. I turn in my toll receipt and get repaid.
    If I got the Pikepass on my own, do they have a way I could print the receipt from their website to turn in to my company, so that I get repaid?

    I do not know about the pikepass and all. But I have the IPass and it allows me to print the tolls for the month and then I get reimbursed. They sometimes take a couple of days to hit though.

    Now, I would assume it would be the same for the pikepass since companies that have it would want to print the tolls for their records.

    I think PikePass sends a monthly statement, check with them and they can answer. Glad we finally got PikePass -- $28 was bad enough. Used to add over an hour to the trip just to avoid paying the full toll -- I40 to US69 up to I44. Toll was only $7.50 then -- quite a savings. Even though we got reimbursed, it was expensive to have to shell out the cash in the first place. Working to try to get a K-Tag now -- Kansas tolls add up too.

    I don't get it, Tolls are down because of the economy. Fewer trucks running the toll pike, Lets see lets raise the price so fewer trucks will run it. How about lets lower the price so more traffic will run the turn pike. Lower the cost I'll run the entire turn pike. Right now I run route 66 from OKC to Tulsa takes about 30 minutes longer but now I'm not out the 14.25

    I just ran from the state line at Joplin to OKC, and spent way more than I wanted to. To top it off, there were a few automated cashboxes that didn't give receipts. I should have just ran through downtown Tulsa. Hindsight's 20 20.

    Ohio figured out a few years ago that all the residents screaming because of all the trucks running back roads = lowering tolls and raising speed limits. Oklahoma and Kansas would do well to learn from this.

    I don't care if I'm in a car or a big truck -- I have to face a significant detour before I'll pay a reasonable toll, and I'll avoid unreasonable ones period.
