That really screws things up for me. What toll? Will it be all of them?

Can you make it through the EZ Pass express lanes?

I think you are not supposed to use the EZ-Pass while trailering.  You might wind up with a nice ticket.

I have used EZ-Pass while trailering all over the U.S. with no problems. Sometimes on the turnpike I didn't get charged for the trailer.
Don't worry the parkway will get you for the trailer.

Thats $7.05 tolls for me every time I go to the hook. rgmn  rgmn  rgmn

Here is a link for tolls

We would get charged a big fine for going thru without paying and it turned out to be the trailer  getting pinged because I was going too slow. We would call and they would remove the charge. They said last year that there was no charge for trailers with EZ pass.

If ez pass wants to get me, then they can since they have camera's on the tolls.  One day I forgot my ez pass and did get a ticket so I know they can get ya.  I trailer my boat to and from the slip every year for the past 10 years.. No tickets yet while using the EZ pass.

50 cents a toll. I figure that if I mount my trailer plate up high, near the bottom of the boat, the hull will block the camera shot of my plate when I blow the toll. 50 cents for the new nuts & bolts and I'm good. >:D <'((((><
