Truck Survey - Do you avoid tolls?

You did not put a web site address or link in your post.

With out this, I doubt you will get many participants.

 

and why would we take a survey .... then they will try and figure how to toll us then as for 1 reason ...........TO DAM HIGH FOR A TRUCK

 

I took it but for company drivers it makes no sense. I am not allowed to use tolls for any reason unless company approves it first. I have to drive 15-20% out of route to avoid the PA TPK on a regular basis. It needed to ask questions for company drivers and didn't. The vast majority of drivers now are company drivers. A company driver paid by the mile should be allowed by the law to use the shortest route or be paid for the overage of miles. If the company wants to save $75 by subtracting the extra fuel from what the tolls would have cost that's fine and dandy but the Driver eats the 60-100 miles or burns that much extra time in the log book he could have ran 60-100 miles. The savings come off the driver's back in lost time and wages not the company, the biggest loser in avoiding the tolls is the company driver.

 

Yeah. I'm going to take a poll to give you guys more ideas on how to keep my sorry butt on toll roads I can't afford. I'll tell you why I avoid tolls. I can't afford them. One end of PA to the other for me is $175. For a 300-mile stretch of road. And I have to pay road tax on top of it. (That would be IFTA, by the way.)

Nope. Not going to help you gouge me or my brothers and sisters. Forget it.

 

this is why they want to make a toll road out of 81 thru VA

 

Tolls paid to the state for general funds, like NJ, are a tax on interstate shipments and should be outlawed!

 

i no where theres a hole they can put those tolls in...... and the way it looks ,,there's room for a servey..

 

I will always find a way to go around a toll road. I also refuse to run greater sections of Kansas, New York, Pa and other areas where they want to rape you with tolls.

I think toll roads are a bad idea, I think they are the mark of bad government. and I refuse to use them on principal and not cost. After all why would I allow my tax dollars be used to build something, then be charged for its use.

We already pay enough in highway use tax, and fuel tax, and everything else. That and I have noticed that anything avalible on a toll road is more expensive because they have a captive market. And I just think that is wrong.
