    you got an EZ Pass or similar device?

    usually from what i had seen years ago, a camera takes a picture of the side of the truck to capture the name, and the trailer plate.

    but with EZ Pass, they informed the company

    i ran into too many situations at say the George Washington Bridge, where the EZ Pass was not even working, or the account was empty and pictures of my front plate were taken, then i'd get yelled at in the office, like i could GAF...........i drive, you pay the tolls i told them, not my fault you are behind in paying the bills.

    never bothered me again.

    I get toll by plate from PA and IL on O/O's that don't have EZ-Pass. IL the admin fee is far more than the toll is.

    EZ pass and have it on reload anytime it needs it from my account. Never worry just drive and let it bill out of the account. Just Bid high enough to cover the #### highway robbery toll roads.

    My last trucking job had zero toll paying devices. I accidentally drove a short section near Chicago that was tolled. Go to the website for the toll road and they will tell you how to pay unpaid/old tolls. I was able to pay the toll online. Since unpaid tolls are your responsibility, it is your responsibility to pay, track, or find unpaid tolls. It's not the state or toll authority's responsibility to track you down and inform you. Internet search for toll roads in a state and search he toll road authority/website
