before i sent the money, id check to see if the court can be contacted via email (believe it or not, some of the most computer accessible courts are in the south). if not, send a letter that covers all the facts youve mentioned (include the clerks name) and send copies of your manifest to substantiate your assertion about the time-sensitivity of your load. i must be one of the few people who hasnt received a ticket in ga, but ive only been thru the state twice.
the judge will hopefully see it your way--at least as far as the court date issue--and youll get out of the fta thing as well as the penalty surcharge.
