Actually the truckers mostly do not pay the tolls you do when you buy the stuff they haul. Some maybe a little more than others but you do pay for it. Same goes for business taxes and regulations.I doubt many of the truckers will take the 95 / 395 drive around. They pick up the toll road (MassPike) in Worster and that is an expensive toll road. Add on the additional cost in hours of driving and miles it is a no win situation. The trip through RI is busy, but a whole lot shorter than going North to end up East in Bean Town.

Be careful of the speed your going as you go through the readers. We got a letter saying we went through too fast and the next time it happened we would get a ticket.daytripper wrote:They are doing away with toll booths in NY, you won't need to slow down anymore as they will pick up your E-ZPass at highway speed now. If you don't have E-ZPass they will take a picture of your plate and mail you a bill. All NYC tolls are supposed to be like that within a few years, they already started.
