This tolling is getting out of hand. I know Ive been away a long time but former free roads are being tolled too? More revenue for the government that put i t there.
I remember bypassing the entire New Jersey Toll structure if not everything from say Baltimore all the way to #### near Boston on smaller roads that are not tolled at all. It was actually a pleasant drive through all the scenic areas without fighting traffic and good places to eat.
Since NJ made a law requiring 18 wheelers to use the national systen, in other words the NJ Turnpike, I have grown to the point that I'll just bypass the whole freaking state.
Jersey is one thing, how in the world will I bypass Texas by going into Oklahoma a while? -
x1Heavy Thanks this.

You should try the I-80 toll road from approximately Indiana State line-Illinois all the way through Ohio via Toledo etc into the Pennsylvania turnpike and so on.
I have not been on that for 20 years now, But I can imagine in my head a approximately 500 dollar in tolls for such a drive. It would be a really nice drive as far as drives go. If you kept going into say NYC from Philly add in another 100 plus fpr the bridges.
Make sure your customer pays all that 600 dollar mess, and that customer will bill the store buyer, that's me.
If I am paying say 1.45 a pound red apples from Yakima Washington (Stemplet farm?, spelling) and you paid 600 plus dollars to get it to NYC for me to buy and enjoy, I will have to be charged 2.00 a pound at the register. that ups the value of the trailer load of red apples 45000 pounds by another 22500 dollars. Im pretty sure you can bill 600 for your toll use.win-some-loose-less Thanks this. -

Learning is why I also have intentionally chosen to start o/o under the authority of a large company.
After a while, I will take more responsibility for myself, and seek out better income.
Yes, I have to run a lot of miles to make my current pay scale pay me better than a company driver.
Just like most new business owners have to bust their ### for a couple years when they start.
This fellow doesnt have that option.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
News to me.
Im generally slow on the uptake at the switch snoozing away, but Locals that matter and have the resources to try and remake a city block in their imagery. Sometimes it's interesting when half the parking lot wants out -
Dallas to Laredo.
Back an forth everyday.
Can it get any worse than that.
You’ll be a angry and pissed off
Before you even put the
Truck in gear.
It’s should be .50 cpm just to run that road
Everyday, plus whatever the rate is.Opendeckin and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
