EZ Pass Double Charge
Just returned from a month in Florida. Towed my Ultra Limited in an enclosed trailer behind my 2016 Yukon Denali. Just happened to notice on my monthly EZ Pass statement I was double charged for the Yukon/Trailer and my Ultra Limited. Yes, I have a transponder in the Yukon and a transponder on the Harley however I've been trailering this bike for several years and have never see this happen before. Only happened on the way down not on the way back.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone else ever experienced this double charge, and
2. Short of removing my outer fairing to uninstall the transponder on the bike every time I trailer it, how do I avoid this from happening again in the future?
Anyone?

Wow, yours gets read inside the fairing in a trailer and I can't get mine to read from anywhere on the bike. Have 1 for each bike, one is ok the other one totally sucks, only reads about 1/4 of the time no matter where I put it. Need to send that one back.
I do have an occasional issue with EZ pass billing but have always been able to fix it right from the website. As was mentioned, the rate for a bike and a truck is probably cheaper than a truck with a trailer, at least it would be in NY.

Coming back from Sturgis a couple of years ago I got caught up on the Toll Road outside of Chicago ( shoot me please ) and before I realized it I had rode through a couple of toll stations ... "Red" taps me on the shoulder and asks "When are you going to pay your toll" ... I cruised into the next station and told them and before I got finished with my "story" he said "We know, we've been watching" ... Told me that when I get home home check with their website and I could straighten it all out.

Well not that it matters but I have found that I don’t even need the EZ Pass on my bike down in Florida. A few years back me and a buddy were on the Turnpike and passed a couple of the pay booths before we realized how the system worked. At that point just keep on trucking. When we got off down west of Miami to catch 41 to the Everglades the sign read “Will bill from License Plate” or something similar. I expected to get a bill or worse a fine. Never got either. Last year we just cruised right through. I don’t think the camera’s pick up the bikes plated up under the tour-pack?
Thanks OP guess you paid for me! LOL

If the motorcycle transponder was not in the the Read-Prevention bag, it was pick up by E-Z toll.

Im of the opinion that you will have to remove it from inside the fairing to avoid the double hit. Many posters on here put the EZ Pass either in their pocket or Velcro to the top inside of one of their saddle bag lids.
You could also put it on a lanyard around your neck.
Many states are switching to plate readers and everything Ive read indicates that is the future for toll roads.
And yes, its hard, if not impossible to read the plate tucked up under a tour pack. But Im sure that wont last.
