How HaulReport measures this
HaulReport aggregates the public FMCSA Company Census and captures daily snapshots of the registration, crash, and operating-authority registers, counting the differences by state. The “registered since 2024” figure is a cumulative count of carriers first appearing on the register in Kentucky; the live activity figures cover the 30-day window since Jun 12, 2026. Cargo classes come from the carrier's self-reported registration flags and can overlap. Because these are public registration databases, they reflect filing activity, not operational outcomes, and can lag real-world events. See methodology and data sources.
Frequently asked questions
- How many trucking companies are in Kentucky?
- 5,394 motor carriers have registered in Kentucky on the public FMCSA Company Census since January 2024, the 23rd-most of any state. That is a cumulative registration count — a carrier first appearing on the register — not a count of currently active authorities, and some later go inactive.
- What kind of freight do Kentucky carriers haul?
- Among the cargo classes HaulReport tracks, Kentucky carriers most often report building materials (6,336), logs, poles, beams & lumber (5,703), grain, feed & hay (5,554). Cargo classes are self-reported on the registration and can overlap, so a carrier may appear under more than one type.
- Is "inactive" the same as going out of business?
- No. "Inactive" reflects a change in public FMCSA registration/authority status — a lapsed biennial MCS-150, administrative deactivation, merger, or genuine exit — and some carriers later reactivate. We never report it as a confirmed business closure.
- Where does this data come from and how current is it?
- Public FMCSA records (Company Census dataset az4n-8mr2, plus the crash and operating-authority registers). HaulReport aggregates the register and compares daily snapshots, beginning Jun 12, 2026. The live activity figures appear once they accrue state-level volume. These are registration records, not safety ratings or official FMCSA statistics.
