Toll Booth Disaster!!!

So yesterday I was driving out of NJ, well trying the best I could to get out, and ran into an "oh crap" moment. Me and my co-driver had spent three hour's looking for our shipper (taking wrong turns, running a some red light's and making a few locals mad) once we found the place we had to wait twelve hour's for our company to get us a pickup number so we could get our load and leave. Well the next morning I finally got the load and was making a mad dash for the Pennsylvania boarder. In such a rush to leave I forgot dispatch had informed me about a toll heading into PA out of NJ. As soon as I saw the sign saying toll booth I knew right then and there I was in trouble. I proceed anyways hoping that there will be a welcome center just before the booth with an atm inside...there was not. I get to the gate and tell the person I don't have the twenty dollar's to pay the toll so a man with a clip board came out and took down all of my information then says I'm clear to go! I was so relieved that I wasn't going to jail or having my licences revoked for not paying the toll (since I assumed that's what happens when you don't pay) If they took down all of my information and allowed me to go through does that mean I am billed later or does my company get billed? Is there any extra type of fees tacked on? (praying nothing astronomically high)

Take a deep breathe Jon. They will simply send a bill to your company. The bill will probably be a few times larger than what they wanted from you, if they wanted 20 they'll bill the company 60.

Your company will pay it and you probably won't hear it ever again.

How do I know? I was in the same situation on the Bay Bridge in CA. They simply wrote me a "ticket" for 60 and I was on my way. Now it's not like a real ticket that would show up on your license, more like a "pay it asap or else it will get bad" kind of ticket. I sent it to the company and never heard back.

You'll be okay. Try not to run red lights or miss turns in NJ. That can and will put you in far more trouble than that toll booth incident.

Tolls take comcheks.. My co driver found that one out... Not sure which ones do

Lol, tolls are no big deal. They send a bill to your company plus a hefty "processing fee", for the convenience of it all.

Now if you hit the booth with your mirror (as I have done), if you stop they can whip up some magical damage fee out of nowhere. You'd be best off moving along as if nothing happened.
