Kentucky's 100 Biggest Trucking Fleets (2026)

Nightly aggregation of the FMCSA census puts Kentucky at 43,333 active motor carriers running roughly 152,044 power units combined, and about 56% of those carriers are single-truck owner-operators. Average active fleet size works out to 3.8 trucks.

327 new KY carrier registrations appeared in the last 90 days — and 484 registrations carry an FMCSA prior-revocation link, the raw material of chameleon re-registrations.

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.
