    Some companies such as Crete will fire you if you are caught doing an illegal U turn.

    You would already know if you had been caught. I have seen drivers getting ticketed when a trooper saw them U turn...

    The turnpike can't do anything about CSA points. That would require a trooper to issue a citation.
    Now, you may end up on YouTube under the title "Stupid Truck Driver".

    Deny it.. refuse to pay the toll charges. Complain that their $#@& toll booth inadvertently charged you both ways. Just complain & raise all kinds of $&$@. They'll apologies & just say, Oppps sorry & dismiss those charges.

    Let us know how that comes out.

    If anything you'll have to pay the toll but PA's toll by plate system misses so many plates you may not get charged at all...last I read they were out $101,000,000 in unpaid tolls. That's what they get for firing all those toll collectors
