    You’re in a truck, thus you take the truck route. It’s say under that no trucks except local delivery. You missed it. We all have. Pay the ticket and move on.

    You get to pay big bucks by doing what gps tells you, in stead of what the your eyes and common sense tells you. Thats whats bad with the new breed of drivers we have now. they can't think for themselves . A machine has to do it for them.

    Obscure street sign. Lol. The same sign is clearly posted on every side of town and clearly says to use the truck route except for local deliveries.

    If you thought everyone was going to jump in an agree you your take on this,,,well, just ain't going to happen. Pretty hard not to see the signs if you are paying attention.

    I used to pick up ag chemicals in el Dorado years ago and the story i got was that the locals got tired of the boneheads in trucks roaring thru downtown using theyre Jake's at stop lights .
    Sorry op nobody is picking on you and I got the same ticket in Carizzo springs tx about 4 years ago because I had my head up my posterior.
    Pay it and move on .

    The signs are very obvious. Unless you don’t read signs. That is a major part of this job. Just saying.
