Kentucky is more than mint juleps and large hats. While the Kentucky Derby is undoubtedly the biggest draw in Kentucky, drawing over 150,000 viewers in person and millions across the country, it’s just a small piece of what the state provides.

• Louisville isn’t just home to Churchill Downs and the Derby; it’s also home to Yum! Brands. Not familiar with the name? Yum! is the fast-food juggernauts Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, WingStreet, and Kentucky’s own KFC. With over 43,000 restaurants covered under its umbrella, it is one of the world’s largest fast-food companies.
• It was also home to the World’s Largest Ham and Biscuit at the Trigg Country Ham Festival. While it’s no longer an official holder of that title, the yearly ham biscuit is still a massive draw, and the festival held in Cadiz is one of the biggest draws in Western Kentucky.
• In an interesting quirk of geography, a small part of Fulton County is not physically attached to any other part of the state. In a bend of the Mississippi River, a small bubble of land is surrounded by Missouri to the east, north, west, and Tennessee to the south. Residents have to drive 40 miles through Tennessee for official functions such as voting, and they even have to use Tiptonville, Tennessee, as their mailing addresses!
• Beating out larger, more famous cities like Portland, Maine, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, Bowling Green was named in the Top 40 of Money magazine’s 100 Best Places to Live in 2019.
• Not too far outside Bowling Green are Mammoth Cave, the world’s longest-known cave and a destination for anyone from casual visitors to the hearty, adventurous sort. Over 400 miles of passages have been surveyed.
• Decorated warship. A platform for Thomas Edison’s antisubmarine research. The backdrop for a Madonna video. Outside of Petersburg, the USS Sachem can be explored by kayakers on the Ohio River.
• Kentucky produces 95% of the world’s supply of bourbon whiskey – which you need for those race-day mint juleps!

Kentucky also has a very active economy, rapidly becoming a great spot for businesses to move production. It’s the fourth-largest state when it comes to vehicle production in America. The Port of Huntington Tri-State, which includes portions of Kentucky, is the largest inland port in the United States, so plenty of work and goods are passing through the region.

Enclosed Auto Transport to Kentucky

Kentucky gets a fair amount of harsh weather from all sides. Kentucky is a true four-season state, which means it gets four seasons of weather headaches. For example, 2009 alone saw two major winter ice storms at the start of the year, numerous spring tornados, a nasty summer flash flooding event, and a return tornado visit in the fall. You’ll want to work with a Kentucky auto transport company that knows how to protect your major investment, whether it is a luxury sedan or a high-end SUV, regardless of the weather. By sending your vehicle via enclosed auto transport when looking for car transport in Kentucky, you’ll avoid damage from rain, hail, heavy winds, wind-blown debris, and snowfall. Having your car shipped to Kentucky in an enclosed carrier is a smart investment.

The safest way to transport your car to Kentucky is within an enclosed auto transport. There are two options for shipping your car via enclosed auto transport:

• Soft-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – The heavy canvas covering the carriers protects your car from wind-blown debris, rain, sleet, snow, and other elements.
• Hard-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – In addition to the advantages of soft-sided carriers, hard-sided carriers offer protection for your car in the unlikely event your car is exposed to possible damage during transportation.

Open Auto Transport to Kentucky

Thinking about using open auto transport for your Kentucky car transport needs? Open carriers are the same double-decker car carriers the dealerships use. Your vehicle will be secured with state-of-the-art equipment and arrive at its destination within seven days of departure. Open auto transport is a secure and affordable way of shipping your car, protecting your vehicle from road vibration, excess mileage, and more.

Lowboy Carriers to Kentucky

From new manufacturing facilities in Lexington to businesses in Bowling Green, growth across the state means construction equipment needs to be moved around quite a bit.

Transporting heavy construction equipment is a serious business. Our veteran lowboy carrier drivers are trained to handle oversized loads and high gross tonnage. Number 1 Auto’s drivers are skilled in moving heavy equipment in and out of job sites and navigating busy highways with unique loads.
