I imagine the company will be getting a bill in the mail if that's true, hope I don't get a ticket!

Yes unless its marked ez pass only then you have to stop.others vary from 5to20mph.

OK, what do they do when you stop??

Nothing. It is for saftey. Stop, then pull through. You are spose to do the same in PA at any booth that says "EZ-Pass and cash".

I guess that makes sense. That would also explain why some toll attendant stepped right in front of me one time and scared the ba-geezuz outa me! So I won't get a bill for the ones I didn't stop at, but I could get a ticket for not stopping...

Was only a few turns from the railyard making a right hander at a light and I heard this gawd awful sound. Pulled over sure enuff the dolly leg opposite side to the crank didnt dolly up. :shock:

OK, so I shoulda stood in bed... I knew it was going to be a bad night when I was having trouble staying awake on my way TO work....
I proceeded to back my van right into the front of a trailer that was next to my truck (too high to see in the mirrors of a mini-van!) totally taking out the back window and adding a little dent. After loading my stuff into the truck, hooking a trailer, did my pre-trip I took off. As soon as I hit the high side the trailer fell off! Apparently, the grease was sooo cold and sooo thick, the jaws didn't close all the way. Thank heavens it was an empty. After 30 minutes of cranking I hooked up, AGAIN (luckily, the hoses or pigtail didn't break) and had to push the jaws closed by hand. 2 hours down the road I pulled over and slept for 6 hours. I shoulda stood in bed.....

Don't feel too bad. On Sundays the only place we can get fuel is at a local BP. More than once has a driver put gas in the tanks.

One thing I did when I wasa starting out OTR the Boss had me PU and bring an Empty 40 footer back to the yard for some repairs. I hook up do my pretrip everything is fine. I go over a set of RR tracks the WHOLE FREAKING LANDING GEAR COMES OFF. Turns out the plant that used the trailer for outside storage of whatever when needed had removed the NUTS only on the dolly legs. Unless you crawled into the frame of the trailer you would not have seen it.
