The secret to not getting gouged if you are pulling a TT or 5 th wheel on a toll bridge is to SIT on your EZ pass so it doesn't go off and just pay at the cash booth. It will be double your car, but not 6 times! I learned this from a NJ/PA bridge toll collector this fall . He told me if it picks up your EZ pass electronically, it will charge as if you are a commercial tractor trailer rig with 4 axles. I tried this and it works! If the toll is $1 , I paid $2 by paying cash. If I had let my pass activate, it would be $12, 6 times the cost of just the TV. Check it out!
Seems completely random to me - I've had live toll collectors charge me a fortune, or almost nothing. Every time they have a list they go by, which seems different than the last time I went through.
EZPass has seemed to be more consistent, and actually less expensive.
Either way, what I don't like about EZPass is that you have no idea what you are being charged, until you see your statement.
