Willie Waterman Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I transport RV's for a living and occasionally have to travel on toll roads. However I give my customers a firm towing bid before starting a job, so extra (unexpected) toll costs occurred along the way can't be charged at delivery. So my question is: does anyone know of an online website that estimates what tolls will cost on a specific route? Tx-WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill B Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Nope - every state and every toll is different. That being said, I do the "long hand" way, find the state, toll road, and add them up. How do you account for breakdowns, bad tires? ie. Saturday night tire pop and having to wait til Monday and repair, 'cause no one is open? When there were unknowns on jobs, I would charge a misc fee and at the end refund unused. $100 toll fees, but only had 37.80 --- 62.20 refund??

Ray,IN Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 The Rand McNally GPS, RV 7730/ Good Sam RV 7735 has a toll feature which updates tolls every time you attach it to the internet, via the Rand McNally Dock on your computer. This website appears to be current with nation-wide tolls, http://www.freewebs.com/tollcalculator/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Waterman Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 RayIN, just saw your post and tried to use that RM Dock service. However it seems I have to be a RM member to retrieve toll road estimations? WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Just do the free enroll on the Rand McNally website I think. I know whenever I do the monthly connection to RM Dock it does update the tolls file too. Since I'm so seldom driving toll roads I've never seen amounts displayed.
