I can see why this industry has gone down hill. Even though it's just a dollar the point is charging. What will they start to charge their drivers for next? Let's see qualcomm' a/c , logbooks,etc.

well there are all sorts of ways to look at it. The drive does not have to get the ezpass prepass but for 4 dollars a month i will get it because i dont shell out money and have to wait 2 weeks to get it and i am sure to make up that 4 dollars on time waiting in line to pay the toll or the free pass i get at the scales. I guess if you are a driver making 24cpm it hurts but hey if you make a grand a week what the hell is 4 dollars a month. It is not a charge to work for the company it is a small fee to make you life easier.

Gears... that is a great picture, where is it from? Kind of looks like Turnagain Arm which is South of Anchorage, Alaska. Very nice!

Well I started this post so I guess it's time to respond. Although I think it's bull$%&# that I have to pay for this stuff and I never had to as a straight truck driver, for the $4 bucks a month I'll go for it. I dont feel like laying out the money for tolls not to mention I sont even know if I'll have it. Been out of work since Sept 2nd. I guess it is what it is.

In the overall picture, $4 isn't a lot. I figure by summer, the majority of companies will be stealing from the majority of drivers.
But not this driver. -
well i dont have to pay for much just the ez-pass/pre-pass and it is woth the 5 bucks for the drive by on the scale house and to keep moving at the tolls i am sure it will balance out. I am happy to have a good job and be making money in these tough times.

I gladly pay $1 a week for EZ-Pass/Pre-Pass. I look at it as a convenience fee. It saves me from withdrawing and using my own money, then waiting to get reimbursed. Plus, it keeps me out of scales for the most part.
You will get the deposits back if you turn your equipment back in. I turned everything back in when I left and recieved everything I was owed in my last check. -
This was back in 1996, (I think,) and load locks did NOT cost $25.00 on the open market. But I was a greenhorn right out of school. . .
