So all those people were stranded along the New York Thruway, not far from me, during the white outs most of the night freezing, eating TicTacs, running down their cell phone battries, pissing in and or eating snow....what does the great state of New York do? They made them all pay tolls when they got to the exits. Turns out our compassionate fearless toll booth operators said that it was the weather not the state that was responsible for their predicament.

those people that run the ny thruway are a bunch of jerk offs. about 2 years ago the legislated a bill that would fine truck drivers a steep fine for taking U.S routes and state routes instead of taking the turnpike. this was back when diesel was up over $4.00 a gallon. and yet people wonder why the things they buy up there are so expensive.

another greedy bunch of a$$holes are those turkeys that own the Pennsylvania turnpike. $103 to run 77,000# or higher from new stanton  over to the new jersey turnpike. if you stop in a plaza and have a McDs or a hardy's its about $10 and it tastes like shit. $103 per truck x 1000 of trucks per day + all the cars and they say they can't afford to manetain the road? bullshit! and whats more all those toll roads are foreign owned.
