The only time most companies pay for motels is during orientation or if your truck is broke down on the road and it is going to be more than a day for it to get fixed.
As far as food goes, some will provide a meal or two per day during orientation, but other than that food is your responsibility.
Most companies will pay for all truck expenses, including tolls and CAT scale tickets that a company driver incurs while doing the job. Some companies, however, do have toll road policies where they will not pay tolls for portions or all of certain toll roads.
Companies will not, with very few exceptions, pay speeding tickets, overweight fines, etc.
