Tolls are here to stay. Over 100 tolling agencies operate more than 300 tolled facilities in the United States, including more than 40 tolling networks. With Congress reluctant to increase the federal fuel tax as the need for infrastructure investment grows, toll roads, bridges and tunnels proliferate. And toll rates are increasing, too. The average cost to truckers of toll roads is nearly four times more per mile than on public highways – plus truckers must still pay traditional state and federal highway use taxes.


Despite the higher cost, motor carriers and professional drivers use toll roads, bridges, and tunnels. Toll roads often provide the most direct or only route to a destination. Time savings on toll roads due to reduced traffic, no stoplights, and higher speeds may outweigh the direct costs.


FOR ALL TRUCK OPERATORS, FROM BIG FLEETS TO OWNER-OPERATORS, TOLL INVOICE


MANAGEMENT REMAINS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. FORTUNATELY, THERE IS A SOLUTION


These days, many toll facilities save time and money through “all-electronic tolling” (AET), using license plate readers or transponders to identify users, eliminating the slowdown at manned toll booths. Toll agencies also add conveniences to attract trucking customers, such as truck parking, fuel vendors with discount programs, and the ability to haul higher weights or different trailer combinations or configurations.


Some motor carriers may find that toll road cost and convenience come close to balancing out. But for all truck operators, from big fleets to owner-operators, toll invoice management remains a major challenge. Fortunately, there is a solution.
