What if it Snows?

I have a prediction.

This thread may have more legs than @Thull

 

I never was an OO and never messed around with the fuel tax side of it. However I was under the impression that fuel purchases in some states nullified some of these mileage taxes. My comment is more of a question. Because I honestly don't know.

 

No way. It's like $50 to go across that little bit of highway in tolls plus the IFTA.
Oregon think is $68, maybe $72 to go all the way up 5. That's over 300 miles. It's $82 I think if go over Cabbage, that's almost 400 miles.
Illinois is like 100 miles and your ### is the size of a trash can.
I was out of hours, or I'd gone around on some state or U.S. highways.
Made it to receiver with 39 minutes left.
So it's ok. Cause I'll get 34 in, got a short haul to get me to my load to Arizona, that pays really well.

I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to get unloaded, DH to the house, get my tax return ( It's ready ), get the cats, then jump back on the highway to get back here.
Cause I already took a load from here out to California when I get back.
And I'm tired, and gonna stuff my face and sleep today.

And all that is if it doesn't snow.

I mean what if it F snows?

 

It all goes into the IFTA fund. Bottom line is subtract the IFTA tax amount in whatever state, and that's your actual fuel cost.
You never fuel, or try not to, in Indiana or the Communist state.

 

Nah once it gets to be mid May, maybe June, then those that are afraid, very afraid, can leave Otay Mesa. At least until September.

 

Illinois is beyond bankrupt while Indiana has a huge surplus

 

Huge surplus of what? Bad highway?

 

I think most of the bad interstate surplus in the US is located in Tennessee. Mostly centered around Memphis.

 

California is the hands down winner for that.

 

The main problem is Mississippi and some surrounding areas have a horrible problem because Yazoo Clay is almost impossible to build a roadbed on. I remember once many years ago taking note of Mississippi redoing several portions of I 20 near Vicksburg. Go back through 3 or 4 months later and you can see how the road had formed waves. Yazoo Clay is horrible.
