I thought privately held roads were only a Texas thing. When you say electronic purchase do you mean debit or credit card or a online shopping purchase?

Still in St Louis, went to the IKEA store today. Wasn't really going to buy anything..........
I took it as any electronic purchase and I would concur on that too
No they don't.
A) When you set it for "fastest route" the fastest route is not surprisingly the toll road. And B) it's really easy to completely avoid toll roads by setting your GPS to, you know, "Avoid Tolls."

Ah the poor thing..Over the years I've found several dead ones that didn't make it through the winter..they come into my groves of trees in town to stay warmer and they'll eat everything they can. So you going to eat her or feed her?

Using your debit or credit card should be fine I'm talking about their product. yes I understand the concept of the fastest route setting. For example set a GPS to economy route, or to the shortest distance route. And watch out it will still take you to the toll road. In addition there is another setting try avoiding a part of a route, again back to the toll road. I forget exactly which model it was.
Feed her .... i don't like deer meat .... 2 weeks ago we through out some frozen sweet corn on the cob for her ..3 days later ...all gone ...
PS ...heading to Waterloo (load) to Mount Vernon , IL. am delivery .....

I should have said models there was more than one GPS that had those same characteristics.

Wow!!! That's bad, bad, bad. You gotta figure that out.
And for sure, get a road atlas. At some point one has to look at a MAP and use common sense.
From where you were to Dayton does NOT involve Knox-anything!!!
Come on Jordan. Paper maps ARE you friend in a semi they are. Do NOT fight it.
300 extra miles in a semi is a ton of money.
Be safe, my friend!!

Oh no doubt I don't wanna drive that extra mileage anymore than averitt wants to pay for it. But I got my route plans out via old school paper atlas and my phone so shouldn't be a probably
Some of these new GPS' are just to much. To many setting and options and features. We really dont need all that stuff. We tried a new one and i returned it in about 3 days and went back to my prehistoric Garmin Street Pilot that we have had since 2006. Still works, very rarely ever messes up and is rite 90 % of the time. If i dont like its routing and there is a better way or a route that we prefer we just put in a via point and it changes to what we want. Some newer streets are not in it cause i have not updated but i just use the I-phone for a quick reference to get the next to the last street and use common sense and go from there. We like just one device working not like some we see where they have 3 GPS' going all at once. Never could understand that mentality !!!!!
Good morning, couple of inches of fresh crusty snow on the ground this morning.

Yep and until the Strawberry's grow we will keep blaming Juju for this stuff. Been a mild winter but I still want it gone.
No, my plan was the old measure twice, cut once. That store is so big that I took a chance on a couple of storage gizmo's.
Moved closer to Indy last night.

I went to the ikea in Austin well round rock/cedar park/Leander/Georgetown dang every little suburb of Austin has grown into Austin, and bough probably $400 worth of stuff I've never used and that was last year.
At the pilot in Chillicothe taking a shower break since I got tied up for 6.5 hours at a shipper last night. No facilities to speak just a portajohn. It's 2016 western Virginia time to embrace indoor plumbing, heck even Kentucky and West Virginia have it now
