    The Florida turnpike. From Wildwood, FL over to I-95.

    How much am I looking to spend for 5 axle, 60,000 pounds?

    $22.25 if you get off at Yeehah Junction and run hwy 60 over to I95 or about $30 if you go down to Ft Pierce and get off. Florida charges by the number of axles, not weight. I'll be running thru this stretch this weekend

    I paid more then that.

    From Wildwood to Orlando was $10. Then from Orlando to exit 116 (FL-706)(where I got off) was $26.75.

    Now coming back I went to Vero Beach and across hwy 60. But I'm bobtailed, so the cost is much much much cheaper. $7.35 from Yee Haw to Orlando & $5 from Orlando to Wildwood.

    Comming from Orlando, there are several exits you could have taken to get on I95. You took the one that looked easiest on the map but is further south than where I get off. If you'd have exited in Yeehaw and run 60 over (4 lane, excellent running) you'd have gone just a couple miles outta route and saved about $14. (one your way down)

    I noticed on my way back that it was only 2 miles difference between running the toll road versus 95 & 60.

    I thought about running 100 out of Lake City on my way down. I just wanted to get there. I didn't want to mess with small towns or stop lights.

    And to justify my routine actions.... I didn't see your response until I was in Wildwood on my way back!
