Galway Girl Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 We're going to be on the east coast coming from west. We want to get a transponder for the toll roads. A bit confused about Ez Pass and trailers. In some articles I see you need only one transponder but have the trailer also registered. Other articles say they just count axles. In any case - looking for advice from folks back east with experience.

Ray Kimsey Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I have the NC EZ Pass transponder and my license plate of the truck and trailer is listed with the NC toll people. In our travel through varying states they usually just count the axles. Be aware though the cost is state dependant and in states like NC the cost of 4 axles is not 2x the cost of the truck alone. It is 4x. I try to avoid NC toll roads which is not too much of a problem. It is best to look up the toll roads by state and see what classification they have for number of axles (and sometimes height, WV comes to mind) and how it impacts the rate you will pay. WV was fairly inexpensive as tolls go. 1 2019 Ram 1500 5.7L V8, 3.92 axle ratio - 2020 LEll - Hull676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph and Dud B Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 We have MA EZPass and have 2 transponders, one for driving the truck alone and the other for the truck/trailer combination. We switch them on the windshield as needed and keep the unused one in a foil pouch to prevent it from being detected. That's the way EZPass told us to do it. 2 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior. Tow vehicle: 2016 GMC Sierra 6.0 gas dually 4x4.

I have a LeeWay (a county version in Florida) and I wish I had the SunPass.... but mostly I am replying here to say that you might want to look at the tolls you plan to use before you go, as I unwittingly used a toll road to go around Houston (rather than through it), and I just got the bill in the mail: $45 for 45 minutes was the result. 1 Oliver Elite II Twin (delivered 3/28/2022) Tow Vehicle: Chevy Silverado 2500HD diesel "Estrella" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
