Cost of Toll Roads

i am not sure where you ran your miles but i have it at 130 extra miles from chicago to youngstown, compared to chicago to indy and then youngstown.

 

I haven't been able to find one for trucks. I have to research each agency individually along my route.

 

Here is one for Indiana

Here is one for Ohio

as far as ohio goes, first company i worked for did not allow ohio tpke...required us to run 20 and 2 that are parallel just to the north. not too bad, and free.

 

A lot of the States with Toll roads will have a Site that will tell you how much they cost.

 

Tolls are a 100% write off as far as truck expenses go, so why avoid the shortest route.

 

Where in jerzy--to go thru Indy and add only 30 miles than probably requires runnin the pa pike which has really goten out of hand--personally I run 30 across in/oh then 71n to 76e back on 80 little more time better at nite--mileage diff is negligible and @75k or above saves somewhere around 70bucks
Just my $02

 

Because a lot of times the cost per mile will be less running the out of route miles to avoid the tolls than the few miles you save plus the toll on the toll road. Usually experience is the only way to decide which is cheaper. With fuel prices as high as they are these days it would be rare to get on surface road with stoplights and save any money, but if there is an alternate interstate that is a whole different story.

 

OH doesn't go by weight anymore
