Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in toll collector jobs.
- High school diploma or GED equivalent
- Ability to handle cash accurately and balance a drawer at shift end
- Valid state driver license in good standing
- Customer service or public-facing work experience
- Availability for rotating shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays
- Ability to sit or stand in a confined booth for extended periods
Tips for Your Toll Collector Job Search
Tailor your resume for shift work
Toll collector roles run around the clock, so your resume should explicitly list your availability for overnight, weekend, and holiday shifts. Employers screening applicants quickly will pass over resumes that leave shift flexibility ambiguous.
Highlight cash handling accuracy on applications
Reconciling a cash drawer at the end of a shift is a core daily task. Mention any experience balancing registers, processing transactions, or handling high volumes of cash, even from retail or food service jobs.
Get a commercial driver license if you lack experience
Some toll facility operators prefer or require a CDL for roles near high-speed truck lanes. Earning even a Class B CDL before you apply can separate you from candidates who have similar customer-service backgrounds but no traffic exposure.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists toll collector openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for scenario questions about difficult drivers
Interviewers for toll collector positions routinely ask how you would handle an aggressive or non-compliant motorist. Practice a concise answer that describes staying calm, following the facility's escalation procedure, and not leaving your booth unattended.
Ask about electronic tolling training during the interview
Many agencies are transitioning booths to cashless systems. Asking about the training timeline for electronic toll equipment shows you understand where the industry is heading and signals you're ready to adapt quickly.
Toll Collector Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most toll collectors?
The companies hiring the most toll collectors right now include Cintra, HNTB Corporation, and CDM Smith, with the largest share of openings in Texas, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Highway authorities and regional turnpike commissions account for the majority of posted positions.
How many toll collector jobs are remote?
About 100% of toll collector openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on, booth-based nature of most positions. The sub-areas most likely to offer any remote component are back-office violation processing, customer account management, and electronic toll dispute resolution roles within larger authorities.
How do you become a toll collector?
Start by earning a high school diploma or GED, which is the baseline requirement at nearly every toll facility. Build cash-handling or customer-service experience in any public-facing role, then apply directly to highway authority, turnpike commission, or transit agency postings. Most agencies provide paid on-the-job training covering equipment operation, safety protocols, and cash reconciliation before your first solo shift.
Can you get hired as a toll collector with no experience?
Yes, many toll facilities hire candidates with no prior toll experience as long as you can demonstrate reliable attendance, basic math skills, and comfort working with the public. Emphasize any retail, cashier, or customer-facing background on your application. Agencies that operate large facilities often hire in cohorts and train everyone together, making entry without direct experience very achievable.
What does the toll collector interview process look like?
Most toll collector interviews are one or two rounds conducted by a supervisor or HR representative from the operating authority. Expect questions about your availability for rotating shifts, how you handle stressful interactions with motorists, and your approach to cash accuracy. Some agencies add a brief math or situational-judgment assessment before the face-to-face interview stage.
Where can I find and apply to toll collector jobs?
You can find and apply to toll collector jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from highway authorities, turnpike operators, transit agencies, and private toll facility managers across the United States.
