10/30/2025 - Wilmington, Ohio - Ohio-based transportation company R+L Carriers is pleased to announce the opening of a new service center in Owensboro, Kentucky (OWE). This facility is the company's fourth terminal in the state, joining the Lexington, Louisville and Paducah service centers.
Located at 4015 Airpark Drive, the Owensboro, Kentucky service center boasts 132 dock doors, a six-bay maintenance shop, three-lane fuel island and 5,000 square feet of office space. It is well-positioned to deliver freight along the U.S. Route 60 corridor, as well as other surrounding locales, including Henderson, Madisonville and Central City. Situated five miles from the Indiana-Kentucky border, the OWE terminal will also facilitate interstate commerce.
"Our Owensboro location is designated part of the growing R+L Carriers MidEast region," said Dusty Ruthven, R+L Carriers Chief Operating Officer (COO).
