PA Turnpike goes by actual vehicle weight. When you go through the toll booth, you drive across a set of scales, and they aren't that accurate. My truck must be really close to the line because depending on which plaza I go through and how much fuel I have in the tank, I'll get charged for either class 1 or class 2 for my Ram 2500.
On the other hand, when towing my camper, the EZPass never seems to register it. So I never get charged (at least so far) for the extra axles.
The weight/scale technology is not implemented at every toll plaza, only at a little more than half at this time. One day after they complete the money wasting overall rebuilding project all the plazas will have it. By then though you wont be able to afford it. By the TPCs own estimates and press releases the tolls are going to increase 9% yearly through 2030 to finance the project. Do the math on that. Ohio line to Delaware bridge....$308 for a class 1.
