Diesel And Trailer Repair Around Buckner
Buckner is roughly 25 miles from Superior's shop. From the shop, KY 1703 and I-264 lead to I-71; the trucks exit for KY 146 and KY 393 and wind up on Saddlers Mill Road, Fairway Drive and Heather Hill Road. With light traffic, diesel and trailer repair reaches Buckner in about 37 minutes.
East of town, Parts Unlimited and the Bluegrass Generating Station both sit off KY 393 by way of Commerce Parkway.
