Any one else get a bill for escrow account money for Oregon permit?

I understand that you may have accounts that require you to go to some of those states. I had an account that I had a semi regular run to Long Island. We had something about every month at one time. I just got tired of all the toll road increases. Just going in and out on the lower end I had to pay $135 on my last trip to the island. Rates have gone up since. They had also started the NY HUT again. I have changed where I run and am actually doing better than when I was going to some of the high tax states. It is a choice. I don't think rates are keeping up in those areas. I would go to those places for the right rate. I usually price it high enough to discourage them from wanting me to go. I am spending less on fuel taxes, tolls and deadheading and getting better rates and not going to those states that want to gouge me.

I won't give the state of Oregon an interest free loan so that I can pay their excessively high mileage tax. Nor will I go out and buy a new truck so that I can haul cheap freight out of California. I used to get fairly decent rates coming out of California, but it took a lot of work. I would rather concentrate on accounts where I don't have to spend the extra money for taxes and tolls and I can do as well or better on the rates. It has only been the last couple of years where I have made a conscious decision to not run in certain states. If enough owners refused to go to states, such as Oregon and New York, they might see a change.

 

Apply for an account,see what they say.

 

You think the escrow cost is bad? Just wait until you pay the piper for your mileage. hahahaha.

Oregon is one of the worst states to run in. Cheap freight coming out, high fuel taxes, ridiculous regulatory burdens... if a state could be a scumbag, Oregon would be the biggest, scummiest one out there.

 

And my comment on drivers complaining about "evil" oil companies gets deleted for being political?
