Connecticut HUT rip off

@Ruthless had a thread a while back

 

Highway Use Fee.

Looks like .10 a mile
I don't like it either.. just more paperwork. Be so much easier if they just adjusted their ifta rate a bit instead. I'm sure there's government inefficiencies that prevent ifta money going to whatever this new HUT is supposed to pay.

 

I refuse to get onboard with Connecticut and I’m in the process of closing out my business with NY.

Everything north of PA and NJ you can have

 

Yep I have not been in CT since the new tax. I have bid on loads but not gotten them. I have added $500 Extra just to deal with paperwork on any load that goes from my State.

 

I’ve actually got to file mine today, only time I run through there now is when I run east of Sturbridge, I’ll gladly do the extra 14 miles to go to Albany and bang a right to get to Springfield, and my ifta is up 2 tenths to to compensate for the toll, never mind less headaches from traffic

 

That’s the difference going to Albany and taking 90 ? Vs taking 84 across…..

 

122 on 84
Newburgh to Springfield
156 87-90
With new Ct BS it’s a no brainer
And please don’t bring up 287-684-84
By time your done with the Tap toll
Arrrgh

 

I got an easy pass bill on Tuesday, it showed $72.xx for that tappan zee/ I remember seeing that it was going up after the first of the year. I didn’t realize it was going that high

 

just double checked, it’s 14 miles longer to do 87-84 vs 287-684, it’s 34 miles to run 87 to 90, but since doing it, my ifta is up since All I have to pull is blanford now and not fishkill/Waterbury, Danbury etc, never mind the traffic, also the tap (or whatever slimeball politician it’s named for now) has gone through the roof for a toll.

87-84 is the cheapest toll wise but you do nothing but burn fuel going up and down, 287 pot holes will shake the truck apart,


Still got hit with $41 and change for the month
