I-77 WV

First hit on Google shows this WV I-77 Toll Schedule $41.25 if you pay cash

I travel that road from NC a lot. As I remember you only have 1 toll before exiting on 19 to the gorge. During covid we spent a week at the gorge and surrounding area. Can't help you with the tolls as we sometimes have 5 axles, sometimes 4 and sometimes 2. I use an EZ Pass so have no idea the cost as it comes out automatically. I went up in Dec and I think the sign said $4.25 for a car at each toll booth. Don't miss the coal mine exhibit at Fayetteville. Also that link above is not the official WV website. I saw one flaw right off, the turnpike ends at Charleston. There is a big sign right there thanking you for using the WV Turnpike----but I-77 goes from border to border. Just remembered, I'll be going up this weekend, maybe on Sat so I'll report back.

Here lies some of my confusion. That truck rate of 41.25 makes me think of commercial truck. Is a pickup truck towing a TT the same rate as a commercial truck? If it is that is fine. I will look into using Uproad as that would be better than stopping and paying.

They charge by the axle and why not an EZ pass?

Went up through there last October with fifth wheel--4 axles. Paid nothing close to that commercial rate.

EZ pass does not allow to configure for the situation, truck with 2 axles pulling TT with 2 axles. Concern would be that I drive through EZ pass lane towing a TT and the authorities know that EZ pass can't be configured that way.

I also looked at the Uproad app. It also cannot be configured for this situation. In addition if you do the Pay as You Go method they tack on 15%. 15% of $4 not a big deal, 15% of $41 isn't worth it.

Really? I have used the EZ pass since it was offered and contrary to what you suggest they count the axles at MOST toll counters. I have used my PU with a 3 axle trailer, 2 axle trailer, DP with each of those trailers, and also carried the Smart car on our dolly.....all with the same transponder which I move from vehicle to vehicle. That pass has, I think, 7 vehicles registered to it. I always go through the EZ pass lanes and has never been a problem. Same with the overhead readers, don't know how they do it nor do I care but it has always worked.

Last time I came out of MD into VA on 301 it was $18.00 for 4 axles and $36.00 for 5 axles. Posted right there for all to see.

Good info. From the website I am not seeing that capability. My impression was it went with what I selected.

That's how my pass works too. I move it from car(s) to truck(s)to DP to motorcycle. Sometimes I have a trailer behind my trucks , one single axle, one tandem, always pull a pickup behind the DP. Never had any issues with them counting axles... they always seem to bill correctly. Just went thru NY, MA, ME and all 3 states billed correctly.

OP here. Finished this trip yesterday. Paid cash going thru toll booths and got thru very quickly. Two tolls going in and two coming back home for a total of $14. Would not have been worth dealing with EZ-Pass for this trip.
