Why CDL driveaway works differently in Kentucky
Kentucky sits on I-65, I-64, I-71, I-75, and I-24, connecting the Great Lakes to the Deep South. Ford, Toyota Georgetown, GE Appliances, and the UPS Worldport in Louisville drive commercial truck volumes.
Automotive (Toyota Georgetown, Ford Louisville), UPS Worldport, coal (Eastern KY), bourbon logistics, and thoroughbred/agriculture drive Kentucky freight.
- Automotive OEM (Toyota, Ford)
- UPS Worldport (Louisville)
- Coal (Eastern KY)
- Bourbon & spirits
- Agriculture & thoroughbred industry
Winter ice on I-64 and I-75 (Rockcastle/Berea grades) can close routes December-February; spring flooding in Eastern KY affects US-23 and US-119.
KYTC issues oversize/overweight permits; superload approvals for units over 200,000 lb require bridge analyses on the Ohio River crossings.
I-65 (Louisville-Nashville-Bowling Green) and I-75 (Cincinnati-Lexington-Knoxville) are the primary lanes; Louisville's UPS Worldport drives dense inbound-outbound Class 8 traffic overnight.
Common lanes include Louisville UPS-related freight, Toyota Georgetown deliveries, Ford Louisville plant rotations, and Lexington/Bluegrass agricultural moves.
