Toll Roads

At schneider they pay for all tolls with the exception of:

All Florida expressways, parkways and turnpikes. (Except from I-75 to I4, Gate 75 at Orlando) Atlanta City Expressway and Garden State Parkway Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel

All others are fair game. The trip/navigation optimizer avoids them whenever possible but I usually use whatever route I think will be most efficient. I’ve never been questioned on why I take toll roads when alternative routes are available.

I didn’t realize it when I first started but they are paying practical miles, or “shortest” possible route yet when you run their routing app it will often take you a longer route to avoid tolls. I’ve also had it take a much much longer route to accommodate a recommended fuel stop, this seems to be happening more and more. If your paying me for the shortest possible route you can bet your ass that’s what I’m taking, unless of coarse i can still save time with a route that’s higher miles. Time is money.

Our company’s policy is not to avoid tolls, time saving makes up for cost

At over $6 per gallon… I think most companies need to revisit this. 🤔

Agreed. The only tolls we cant run are the PA turnpike and the NY thruway east of albany. They would prefer us not to run them but I havent heard a peep in 3+ years. We run alot of beer from elkton VA up into ohio and routinely end up goin 70 miles out of the way to avoid tolls on the turnpike up big hills and back roads at 78klbs. I cant see the toll costs outweighing these diesel prices.

Yep. They are definitely paying the shortest distance regardless of time.

At $6/gal we shouldn't have to pay a toll. Lol

I read an article saying that companies are making money on fuel surcharges. Not sure how true it is.

I know that we have agreements with truck stops all over for steep discounts in exchange for treating them as terminal fuel stops - stops we can use with no prior approval.
