    Hi People,

    I started running for Long Island dealers. If anyone familiar will get what I am talking about.

    I have New York Ez-pass and I cannot get why Throgs neck bridge sometimes charges me $12 and sometimes $22, same with George Washington Bridge, sometimes $68 and sometimes $62.

    Do not even try to recommend me calling their customer service

    Good question.

    Now, first I thought it was rush hour and off rates, then I checked statement and there is no some kind of logic cause I was getting low rates during rush hour and high rates midnight.

    One thought is that I entered Long Island from Connecticut side and may be that is what matters?

    What do you have your ezpass registered for? Same axle weight count as what you're actually pulling? Some lanes have axle/weight counters and charge "what you use" vs what you're transponder shows.

    Throgs Neck is the Throgs neck, regardless of what direction you come from before that.

    You should not say anything or they will charge you for their mistake.
    It's just Unarmed robbery.

    It's based on time of day and also height. If you get the ezpass assuming that your truck has 2 axels and the trailer had 3. It would be the car hauler 5l if it's under 7 ft tall I believe. The height the time of day the axel count and the proper classification all can change the rate.
