Trucking in Kentucky

Kentucky is one of the most concentrated logistics states per capita, anchored by UPS Worldport in Louisville (the world's largest automated package handling facility) and Amazon Air's KCVG hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport. I-65, I-75, and I-64 are the dominant corridors. Key commodity flows: bourbon (Kentucky produces 95% of the world's bourbon — outbound from Lexington and Louisville distilleries), automotive parts (Toyota Georgetown, Ford Louisville), and package express.

Every company in this directory has an FMCSA record. Far fewer have a site of their own — so the record is all a broker, shipper or driver finds when they look you up. A website is where your authority, insurance, equipment and contact details live, in your words rather than a government form’s.

✓ $274 one-time — you own the site outright
✓ First year of hosting included, $150/yr after
✓ Your authority, insurance and equipment, presented properly
✓ Live in 5–7 business days. No contracts, no monthly fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many active trucking carriers operate in Kentucky?

How can I verify a Kentucky trucking carrier is licensed and insured?

Every carrier listed on this page has an active FMCSA USDOT number. To verify operating authority, insurance, and safety record, check FMCSA SAFER (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx) using the carrier's DOT number. For broker authority and BIPD insurance status, use the FMCSA L&I Public Lookup (li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov). Cross-reference safety scores via the FMCSA SMS (ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS).

What is the typical fleet size of a Kentucky trucking carrier?

Most US trucking carriers are small fleets — over 90% operate fewer than 6 trucks. Among the 41,431 active Kentucky carriers, fleet sizes range from owner-operators with a single truck to large carriers with hundreds of power units. The top 100 by fleet size are listed above, sorted by reported power units.

Does Kentucky have specific commercial vehicle regulations?

Federal Bridge Formula rules and 80,000 lb maximum gross vehicle weight apply on Interstate highways in Kentucky. State-specific permits are required for oversize/overweight loads, and some states enforce additional emissions, hours-of-service, or weight enforcement rules. Carriers should consult the Kentucky Department of Transportation for current commercial vehicle requirements.
