Wow, after this guy gets done payin his debt, Pennsylvania will probably have enough money to get rid of all their freakin tolls......hah ya right!!

He can KISS his CDL bye with that one. I would love to be a personal manager for any company when he applies there. Any tickets in the last 3 years just one in PA for 1.24 million I would be trying NOT to laugh on that one.

Wambold's tractor-trailer has a split-axle trailer with a modified air system that can lift the axles over toll indicators, with mufflers that can prevent toll collectors from hearing the axles being raised.

I'm confused, are PA Tolls processed by axle weight? One would think that if that be the case, raising an axle would cause another to be way overweight and thus the system would be useless anyways. If they do it by the number of axles like the states I have driven thru do it, unless the axles completely rolled up out of view, what good does that do to just raise it up, or do they collect by the axle if the axle is touching the ground? In other words, if the axle is not down, they don't count that one? :?

This guys his so hosed he doesn't even know it yet.

Weight=class.

Notice that it gives the classes by weight, not axle.

PA/NJ bridge crossings charge by axle.

Double R, with that being the case on the PA Turnpike, then lifting the axles would do nothing for him. It would just add more weight to the other axles on the ground so overall he would still be paying for the same amount of weight, just on less axles, right?
