Trucking-specific routing REST API?

Question

Trying to see if there is trucking-specific API provided by ESRI in REST form?

I'm using

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/?ESRISessionID=cn4Z33NbAkJh6Wq2JwK3aB8Vac0XEs_QzChc0lfJq8nc5KN4EDEWGdj9vnc8lzI8jjsqJcc0DM1HToSVk4q_z_GDdpaTani4Yf-hkuXadDbNkdEdMv5SParFcTw9n1I7t0TqmbV7xGxreXzs3hw1bA..#/Route_service_with_synchronous_execution/02r300000036000000/

With all default parameters. I have 2 problems here:

1. A lot of routes is just bad. For example, route from St Louis to Houston generated by REST API will take you I-55 all the way to I12/10 and it becomes +100 miles route

2. I need info about toll roads which this service doesn't seem to provide.

Any suggestions? Maybe some specific parameters which can improve routes/mileage?

Anyone? I think I know why it's doing it, but wonder if there is any better way of doing it?

Under usage Limits:

Force hierarchy beyond a straight-line distance of 50 miles

(If the straight-line distance between any two stops is greater than the limit shown here, the analysis uses hierarchy, even if useHierarchy is set to false.)

If I understand correctly, for long routes (nationwide) it will default to major highways matrix and there is no way to fix this. But it's simply wrong, no other routing like Google/Bing doing this..
