Don't sweat the small stuff.They'll bill your company.I've deliberately went thru tolls without paying and never had a fine.Only one of my companies made me pay the toll to teach me a lesson but the other companies paid it and never billed me.
Missed a toll

You guys should see me in Florida.Im like a toll running Al Capone.
Toll roads are ridiculous.They might as well charge me for trees.
The man always got his hands in my pocket -
The worst thing is one toll road has booths that accept cash.. then the next has nothing but their ez-pass spin off.. some of those sunpass joints have license plate billing, others not, some toll booths only accept coins...OPUS 7 Thanks this.

Used to run the tolls all the time in Dallas / Houston.....so confusing. Who cares. Did it in NJ too, should I be worried the nj Stasi is going to come after me even though the nj turnpike is a piece of (. ) you wonder where the money is going
OPUS 7 Thanks this. -
I don't trust companies reimbursing me for tolls so if I can i'll go right thru them everytime.

Maybe. I ran an i44 toll recently. Wasn't paying enough attention to the signs and headed off the ramp to pay at the booth. Only this time the off-ramp was the bypass and the straight section on the highway was where they put the booths...wtf? Couldn't get over without slowing to less than 30 in a 70 so I ran it...
OP, just call the number for the OK turnpike authority. They don't even charge extra... -
I was the same way with other companies. I'm driving your truck and hauling your freight. I'm not paying out of pocket for anything. I won't hesitate to pay out of pocket for stuff I need with the company I'm with now. No waiting for reimbursement. When we turn in a receipt we get reimbursed on the spot. The only tolls we cross are in Bay Area and all trucks have fast trak.

Like I said in one of my post one company I had to pay because I didn't pay the toll.Took them a good 10 times of me doing that to finally get tired of it,lol.That was Gainey.I also reveived a not so nice message on the quacomm,lol.
HotH2o Thanks this. -
Yep I get loaner trucks that don't have ez pass,sun pass,or any other kinda pass.
I had stopped in Florida,but got yelled at by some non engrish speaking toll attendant.
I decided that was the last time for that,and ran all of them.
My company can either set the truck up,or give me funding to cover it.
Im not fronting my money,and chasing payroll to get it back.
That takes time,and time is moneyTall Mike Thanks this. -
Really? Do you venture out of your territory much?
...Who will then match a truck license plate number to the one driving it, and issue a prompt payroll deduction, which may or may not be more than the fine for the toll violation.
Now that's a little more like it.
Repeated toll violations really don't look good to the issuers of transponders.
