What shapes a move in Kentucky

During winter storms the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet treats Interstates and parkways first, then other priority routes by county, with lower-traffic rural routes cleared last.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
