Frequently asked questions
About trucking companies in Kentucky
How big is the trucking industry in Kentucky?
Nightly aggregation of the FMCSA census puts Kentucky at 43,229 active motor carriers running roughly 152,788 power units combined, and about 56% of those carriers are single-truck owner-operators. Average active fleet size works out to 3.8 trucks.
How fast is the Kentucky carrier market changing?
388 new KY carrier registrations appeared in the last 90 days — and 485 registrations carry an FMCSA prior-revocation link, the raw material of chameleon re-registrations.
Which Kentucky carrier runs the biggest fleet?
S&D LOGISTICS INC out of BARDSTOWN tops the KY ranking with 599994 power units on its latest MCS-150. Its complete vetting workup — risk flags, score breakdown, insurance filings, and record timeline — is at https://mclookup.com/carrier/2871191.
Where does this Kentucky ranking come from?
The list orders every carrier headquartered in KY by self-reported power units, filtered for plausibility (a driver-to-truck ratio between 0.3 and 5.0 screens out data-entry junk like thousand-truck fleets with zero drivers). Showing the top 100 of 6,511 qualifying carriers; every row links to that carrier's full public record.
Can I vet a Kentucky carrier that isn't listed here?
Yes — this page only surfaces the largest fleets. Any of the 6,511 registered KY carriers can be pulled up by typing its USDOT or MC number into the search bar, which returns the same risk-flag screening, score breakdown, and month-over-month record history.
