    This is exactly why all small carriers and owner ops should be put out of business.
    Plus I bet he was running illegal on his paper logs.
    It's sad that Mega companies have to compete against these people.

    That's a harsh statement. I go around the toll booths too. I use the roads I pay plenty of taxes to use.
    I pay tolls when I have to drive the toll way and I pay.
    Easy to not care about tolls when it doesn't come out of your own pocket.
    Not saying what this guy did was proper.
    Good for him to get caught and pay the price.
     
    Dharok Thanks this.

    This guy is a small time toll gangster.
    They busted a owner operator about 6 or 7
    Months ago that owed almost 200 grand in tolls.

    They had been trying to catch him for years
    Running back and forth between Jersey and n.y. City.

    When they finally caught him he had a James Bond
    Hook up in is truck. I think he had like 3 license plates
    On some type of wheel.
    He could push a button and the license plate would spin
    Around to a different plate to go thru the toll booth.

    he would steal the license plates and put them
    On his home made toll buster contraption,
    Then some sucker would receive a pile of toll bills
    To be paid from the toll authority. Lol.

    $11,000 is hardly considered small time. It's incidents like this that give toll authorities an excuse to increase toll rates on roads,bridges and tunnels. Anybody know what's the current going rate on the GWB?
