35% increase in tolls for trucks. That might be why. If they'd done a 10% here, a 10% there, and so on, they might not have to deal with this. I drove through the toll roads up to Massachusetts. $39. I took a different route on the way back. I can only imagine how much tolls these trucks are paying with a 35% increase now.

I used to live on a 25mph residential street. The state insisted that new tolls would pay for repairs to our local highways. Suddenly my quiet little lane had probably 200 big rigs driving through every day. Years later those highways still suck. Eventually the city blocked heavy vehicles from using that small lane, but not before my old street was beat to shit.

Golly gee, truckers not liking a state shakedown scenario? Next you will be telling me they use CB radios to avoid smokie speed traps!
