I drive primarily in TN,GA,KY,IN,OH. of the 8 citations I've received over the past 2 years, 6 have been in KY. Even though they tax truckers 3 times per gallon/mile of fuel, they seem to be real ### holes when it comes to inspections, tickets, etc. Recently, I was doing a 30 mile haul back and forth from Shelbyville to Edinburg, and got pulled over on US 60 EB. I received 2 citations, (overlength/overwidth). I knew for a fact there were NO "no truck" signs but the officer told me it was an "undesignated" route. Does anyone know if this is worth fighting, or should I just bend over and let the bluegrass wiener have its way with me? Ticket is $163, attorney would be more, but my concern is CSA score/ Driver record. Any insight is welcome, thanks.
Beware in KY, fight ticket or eat it?

8 citations in 2 years is a lot.... You should look into joining one of the drivers legal plan companies that represent you in court...

8 in two years, wow just wow. Why fight it you obviously couldn't care less about your record.
12 ga, HorseShoe, Straight Stacks and 1 other person Thank this. -
I always suggest fighting all tickets and if officer is wrong in warning tickets dataq them as well.
Not sure where Edinburg is (my maps don't show it Edinburgh IN is all I find) but I can't find any restrictions near Shelbyville.
I seem to remember running 60 from Middletown to Bridgeport before but I may be wrong.Terrain Thanks this. -
If you look at the truckers atlas, you won't see the orange marking for STAA routes on that section of US 60.tech10171968, 12 ga, tsavory and 1 other person Thank this. -
So the over width might not be right unless there is a safety reason on that route?
Now I may be reading that section wrong so don't hold me to it and get all mad if I am just correct me. -
tech10171968, albert l and Terrain Thank this.
