Tolling might seem like a minor line item—but for most fleets, it’s a growing and often misunderstood cost that can seriously impact the bottom line. In this episode of The Road Ahead & All Things Trucking Podcast, host Summer Gee is joined by Tom Robertson, Vice President of Business Development at PrePass, to break down everything fleet managers need to know about tolls.

From how tolls are calculated, to common violations, hidden fees, and ways to unlock volume discounts, Tom shares insights from 25+ years in transportation tech and fleet operations. You’ll also learn how PrePass simplifies toll management through national transponders, consolidated billing, GPS-based toll verification, and violation resolution services.

Whether you manage a small fleet or hundreds of trucks, this episode gives you the tools to turn tolling from a headache into a controllable cost.
