Americanstar Transport LLC (USDOT 1986353) carries a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration record that includes two separate authority revocations on file, alongside 19 total crashes in which 8 people were injured and no fatalities were recorded; roughly 35 percent of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file, alongside that same 19-crash history involving 8 injuries. The carrier's 201 violations logged over a 24-month period span unsafe-driving and hours-of-service categories, and its maintenance violation rate ranks in the lower-middle range of FMCSA-rated carriers.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving Americanstar Transport LLC, an attorney familiar with commercial trucking claims can review the public FMCSA record and advise you on your options.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.
Why timing matters
State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
