    I have read some old threads apparently I am not the only driver having a problem.

    I was told my Bestpass should work everywhere, but its not. I always have gone through Pikepass lanes but I do not see the "thank you" light. Toll booth lady told me those still do not work.

    Codriver is still driving through Pikepass express lanes. Can he get a ticket/pulled over? He thinks the fine will go to the company not him. I think the driver gets fined

    Anyone with Bestpass have it working in OK? Not sure if my blue box just isn't working or if its the state being slow.

    I had to pay going through KS too. KPass didn't work. The lady even ran the number off my box and nothing.

    Still have TTag nightmares in Austin with all their Toll bs.

    I believe bestpass only works east of tge mississippi. For OK, TX, and KS you need a pike pass or a kpass.

    I used the Bestpass "transponder" that was just a small sticker placed on the windshield and it worked ok for PikePass tolls in OK. It wasn't a box/enclosure like EZ Pass, just a thin sticker with a small chip in it. I would call Bestpass and ask them.

    Maybe you need to mount it lower if your truck has a visor?

    Yeah it's one of the blue boxes it also beeps me past weigh stations. I am just in a freightliner. Not cool enough for one of those visors.

    I was told it should be working for everything. But since Kansas and now OK it hasn't worked. Dont remember ever getting "thank you" for Pikepass.

    I am now utterly confused because as always everyone and my codriver are telling me different things.

    Not sure if I can get in trouble for just going through Pikepass like I always have done up until now. I hate tolls.

    i was told at "brand x" that it works fine and that you wont know. it doesnt make a noise through tolls.

    My bestpass works for them. It doesnt make any sound but the charges are on my statement. It works everywhere in the US that trucks can legally go.
     
    TravR1 Thanks this.

    Why don't you call Bestpass with your transponder number and ask them?

    That never even occurred to me. I thought it was something only my employer dealt with since they are paying. Its worth a phone call if they'll talk to me.
