Crossing the Peace Bridge into Canada at Buffalo with the NY EZpass,I was "up" charged from a class 4 to a class 5 combination of truck & trailer, adding $14.00 to the bridge charge. Filed an adjustment claim & they refunded the difference.
Interesting point - I was traveling with friends & their single axle trailer was also "up" charged a class. This happened to both of us on two separate crossings this year, one in July & one in September.
One might suspect that EZpass is trying to overcharge those that don't check their billing or don't bother to correct problems...
I used to use separate senders for truck and truck and single axle trailer and then got another one for the dual axle.
EZ Pass is a HUGE +++++, are there issues yes, but it was life changing on the commute and it overcomes not having sufficient cash or correct change.
I had couple major fights w them over the years, but I always ended up paying the correct amount.
For a commuter who purposely gets the ezpass, sure.
But for the random guy passing thru, they've taken away the manual pay option on many toll roads. No reason they couldn't put a credit card machine on a lane or two, so you didn't get a surprise later.
