    I have the interstate 44 tolls memorized.

    Going west on 44:

    Will Rogers $16.50
    Big Cabin to Joplin $8.50

    Will Rogers service area is currently closed. Have cash on hand or get a $90 ticket.

    Turner turnpike $16.50

    H. E. Bailey Oklahoma city to Lawton

    $3.75

    Service area in between

    $5.50

    H. E. Bailey Lawton to Texas state line $5. Service area just north of toll plaza.

    Kansas turnpike Oklahoma state line to Emporia $19

    Most turnpikes have a toll calculator online.

    Missouri is free of tolls but we do have bridges that have trolls under them. Just tell the troll to wait for your brother to come along as he is bigger and better to eat.

    I used to work for a company that you had to get toll roads per-approved or the company would charge the tolls back to the driver, that relationship didn't go far.

    I use to travel a lot of toll roads and never knew the exact cost,I just always make sure to have more then enough.Also when you first enter the toll road,you'll get a ticket that also tells the cost which you then can get money out of an ATM from a service plaza but try not to do that because as you know atms has a fee and knowing service plazas ,they're probably more expensive then any other atms.Like I said,the best thing to do is have money before entering tolls.Tell your company to quit being cheap and get transponders for all the trks,lol.

    Always carry $200-300 in cash. When you come to a toll booth, stop, pay the toll, get a receipt, then turn it in. If you don't have the cash, get a cash advance. Don't over-complicate it, truck driving is hard enough.

    You will need to have cash on hand for the little things, buy out money to get the lot lizards to go away ad a candy bar for the 30 Minute break, You know stuff like that! I used to carry at least $300.00 I'd build it up in Cash advances and then add to it as it was getting low. Good luck out there.
