With regard to single axle and duals I had a 14' camper mounted on a one ton chassis with four tires on the ground. Personnel in the casetas de cobros wereso sure the vehicle had duals they would charge me and I would refuse to pay. They then would exit the booth and come verify for themselves.
German tourists with Unimogs tell hilarious stories about broncos at various casetas de cobros.
I took in a special package yesterday for a store customer who needed a circuit board for his home A/C. The part was shipped from Nogales, Sonora Mexico. via ESTAFETA. Weight of part plus package .8 kg.
Price of part $33.61 = in US Dollars (pesos)
Price of shipping $18.34 = in US Dollars (pesos)
Time to ship. Nine days from Estafeta Office Nogales to Estafeta office Vizcaino BCS.
$51.95 for a part that could be shipped to anywhere in the continental USA for twenty-eight dollars. You want a good example while Mexico will never shake the image of being a poor country, I cannot think of a better example.
Or the three hundred and fifty five dollars in tolls (the rig doesn't flap its wings and fly back) to get agriculture products from Queretaro (the bajio) to Mazatlan. Culiacan and Obregon only supply some of the crops. For instance the nearest Milpa to where I am writing this, is three hundred fifty miles.
Ferrocarriles Nacionales is so fraught with fraud and corruption there isn't a chance in hell of Mexico adopting the mile long trains like are commonly seen near I-80 and I-40 in the USA.
So Sector Salud decides many medicamentos contralados (controlled medicines) demand a CURP number that only we citizens and Residentes Perminentes (the grade of immigrado that is forbidden to drive an non-made-in-Mexico car, can purchase the medicines. A CURP number is now needed. It's not just for for opioids, but also for sicotropic medications like PROZAC, and AMITRIPTYLEE. Well, there goes a few hundred millions of dollars worth of exports from medical tourism.
With stupidity at the reins, and corruption hitched to the drawbar, Mexico is digging its own grave.
The "freeze" on gasoline, diesel, all "comistible" prices is frozen until 1, January 2016. I have a feeling a bad feeling what I am going to find at the pump on New Years Day. The government rages over whether to tax groceries and medicines 16%.
So toll road charges are way down the list of priorities for Mexicans. They can always take the free road. America is filling with Mexicanos who have had enough of being threaded onto a cactus. Take the 80 mile ferryride with a vehicle from Sta Rosalia to Guaymas, and kiss three hundred dollars plus, good-bye. And yes, Diesel Comistible Maritime, costs considerably less than on highway diesel and has a nominal 900 PPM azufre.
