Acme Barricades Lc (USDOT 873915)

ACME BARRICADES LC (USDOT 873915) carries a federal safety record that places it among the worst-scoring carriers in the country for maintenance violations. Over the most recent 24-month reporting window, FMCSA records document 36 violations spanning maintenance deficiencies, hours-of-service infractions, and driver-fitness findings — a combination that touches vehicle condition, scheduling compliance, and operator qualification simultaneously. The maintenance violation rate alone ranks at the 98th percentile nationally, meaning the carrier scores worse on that measure than nearly every other carrier in the FMCSA database.

Alongside that violation record, FMCSA crash data shows 11 total crashes involving 4 injuries and no fatalities. Half of those 11 crashes — a share that qualifies as crashes concentrated in nighttime hours — occurred during nighttime conditions. With 11 recorded crashes, this is a high-frequency crash record for a carrier of this profile, and the injuries are distributed across incidents that cut evenly between daytime and nighttime operations.

The breadth of violation categories on file is what distinguishes this record. Maintenance findings indicate equipment-level deficiencies noted during inspections. Hours-of-service violations reflect scheduling or logbook irregularities. Driver-fitness entries raise questions about operator qualification or medical certification. Each of these categories is tracked independently by FMCSA, and all three appear in this carrier's 24-month history, alongside a crash count that sits well above the baseline for comparable operations.

FMCSA records confirm the carrier's underinsured flag is not active. The violation and crash data described above come entirely from public FMCSA records as of the most recent reporting period.
