    as for tolls, get you an ez-pass or i-pass. you will get a discount on tolls using the transponder plus you never need to worry about having toll cash. I have been up and down WV turnpike 6 times in two weeks. thats a lot of money! fuel money, you have more then enough. I have cut it close a couple times but have made it. those were mostly becasue I had some long deadhead an didnt plan right.

    Yeah I was looking at the ezpass but in PA they want $500 up front for the commercial one. A bit steep for me just starting though I had planned on getting one.

    Yea I'm not sure about pa but in ny if you have ez-pass you get a discount but yes 500 is a bit steep when your just starting out agreed. But as nice as it is to have ez pass bad part is that log better match that toll one thing I hate needs to be pretty close and if you need a little bit time then you can get burned.

    Same thing paying cash unless you throw out the receipts...or try to hide them. I avoided toll roads as much as possible. Mainly only took I80 across ohio and indiana, think it was just under $100 cash for both states.

    yea oh in arent so bad tolls have gone up but i do know ny is the killer years ago just from buffalo to mass line it used to be i think 70 or so that was many many years ago so now i think its well over 90 just for ny alone so yea tolls are crazy what that charge . talk about taking advange of benefits . so all in all there lp was pretty good overall experience you think vs being company driver you like it still got some what decent hometime as well. sounds like to me it was cause you know how hard finding a lp that actually works now days hear all hore stores but seems to be legit to me.

    I would just hide them until I got home. And then put them with my taxes stuff. But if I couldn't match them, I'd just log taking a different route.

    yea what i always did when i worked for a company that didnt have ez pass i was never asked for them when i got dot or scales or anything nor would i admit to traveling the toll road if i did. i try stay off toll road if possible but really if ever got audited be in a world of hurt if they didnt match .

    Does the DOT dig into your tax returns?
