They don't know how to do their job. They couldn't even give me any information on what I can do to be able to move the truck I purchased here in Kentucky to Florida where I live. They just suggested I drive illegally to Florida or get Kentucky insurance and tag vehicle here. Which I can't do because I live in Florida and have a Florida license. Are they seriously this ignorant. I had to call Letcher county clerk for them to tell me I had to call Frankfort to get a transit tag. Harlan County clerk couldn't even suggest I call Frankfort. They all should be fired for not knowing how to do their job. This is pathetic of them. What a joke they are. Currupt politicians have too much influence for these people to be clerk's here
