Toll Fees

As a new driver you should also be aware that a lot of the bigger companies companies also have OK and/or KS pike pass RFID chips in the windshield. OK and KS are soon to be reciprocal so if you have one the other state will recognize it. But if you don't have an OK or KS toll pass, be advised of tolls on I-44 and I-35 and I-335/I-70 and a few other roads here and there in OK. Your atlas will display toll roads with a "green" color.

Also, the CA, WA, and CO toll roads will perhaps never be seen by a driver after 10+ years driving OTR. So don't worry about toll roads so much if headed to these states as you'll probably never see a toll booth. FL, you may want to have some cash ready on rare occasion you need on one of the few toll roads.

Texas, you might ask your fleet manager what your company's policy is regarding toll roads in/around Dallas, Austin, and Houston. I forgot to mention EZPass is not honored by Texas toll authorities. There are no toll booths in Texas. Everything is "pay-by-mail" using sophisticated cameras and software. So your company will get bills from Texas and they may or may not be ok with this, depending on your carrier and their policy.

 

MI also has at least one toll bridge. The Mackinac. Basically like stated before just look at the atlas for toll roads. West of the Mississippi and Florida are the only places that ezpass will not work. Well save for the odd bridge somewhere.
