I was just getting at the sheer irony of the situation.

I heard that MO is toying with the idea of making I-70 a toll road all the way across the state. Talking something like $20 for a big truck, from border to border.

They tried to screw me in my truck coming off Long Island, told me it was $xx when it should have been $x (don't remember the prices). I said "what the ^%$#?" He says "Oh, well you have a commercial truck." I told him that was BS, read the friggen license plate, it says "truck" not "commercial", and that ALL trucks in Texas say "truck" on the license plate. He only charged me the normal 2-axle price. Morons.
