    One of my customers has pickup and drop off at a steel mill in Pennsylvania. The last time I went over there they had closed down the tollbooth, and electronic licenses plate reader recorded toll there. The toll is almost double since it became automated. The prepass instructions are confusing. It appears we may be to heavy for a personal transponder and not enough business for a commercial prepass. I am registered under 26,000 lbs. as a combination vehicle. The private pass ask you to be under 15,000 lbs. Any feedback from anyone running the Pennsylvania Turnpike would be appreciated. Thanks. Mike

    Looking into getting the Prepass with the Tolls, any information I need to know before getting it? Seems pretty self explanatory but I like to get other peoples opinion on it. My driver loves the Drivewaze but obviously it doesn't cover tolls.

    I use bestpass for tolls and drivewyze for bypass.
    No complaints with drivewyze, works as it should for $18 a month and I get bypass 98% of the time.
    Bestpass also works but I end up having to go over every toll to make sure the correct toll was charged. For example I used the Verrazanno Bridge from Brooklyn NY to Staten Island NY pretty often. I am supposed to get charged as a class 7 and get charged $46.32 like always but a couple of weeks ago I got charged as a class 8 for $60.38. I let them know and they said I will be getting a credit adjustment for it in 2-3 billing cycles. Just don't like having to check so often.

    I have no good reason why I didn't go with Bestpass's prepass. They send both the toll and prepass even when you just ask for the toll pass.
     
    SFTC Thanks this.
