According to Census ACS 2024, the largest inflows are from Ohio, 14,376 (margin of error 3,608), and Tennessee, 14,181 (margin of error 4,150). Those two margins overlap, so the rank between them is not sharp. Indiana is third at 7,756 (margin of error 1,564). The largest outflows go back to Ohio, Indiana, and Florida. The route list marks these as truck lanes. Ohio to Kentucky and Tennessee to Kentucky are the inbound pairs to read first.
Fort Knox and Fort Campbell are the large Army posts. Blue Grass Army Depot is the third installation. Inside the contiguous United States, Military OneSource says a privately owned vehicle is largely the member's responsibility to move. A carrier needs a meeting point outside a gate it has not been cleared to enter. Auction areas are listed for Bowling Green, for Ashland in the Huntington metro, and for Paducah. Confirm the release. The University of Kentucky in Lexington is the campus in the list. Louisville's river bridges are a normal part of an Ohio or Indiana lane. This note does not state a bridge ban, because none was opened today.
Title and register within 10 days of establishing residency. Separately, apply for registration within 15 days of bringing the vehicle into the county where you live. A passed sheriff's inspection is required for a vehicle brought into Kentucky from another state, both to title it and to register it. Both clocks and the inspection are spelled out on the registration page.
