API Express Inc (USDOT 2558643) carries a maintenance-focused federal safety profile built from public FMCSA records, and several elements of that record are worth examining closely for anyone researching this carrier.
Over a recent 24-month period, FMCSA inspections produced 44 violations logged against API Express Inc. The violation types on file span unsafe-driving and hours-of-service infractions — categories that reflect both how drivers operate vehicles and how their time behind the wheel is managed and recorded. On the maintenance violation scale, the carrier ranks in the 67th percentile, placing it in the upper third of carriers nationwide for the frequency of maintenance-related findings — meaning a majority of carriers score better on this measure. That ranking, combined with the breadth of 44 total violations across two infraction categories, gives this record a degree of regulatory density that distinguishes it from lower-volume carriers.
The crash record for API Express Inc shows seven total crashes reported in FMCSA data, with one injury and zero fatalities recorded across those incidents. Of those seven crashes, approximately 14 percent — or roughly one in seven — occurred during nighttime hours, meaning the substantial majority of crashes on file took place during daylight conditions. The seven-crash total, while not the highest-frequency record in the carrier universe, sits alongside a violation log that covers multiple regulatory domains.
Separately, FMCSA records flag API Express Inc as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file, alongside the seven crashes and one reported injury in the carrier's FMCSA crash history. The underinsured designation reflects FMCSA's own filing requirements for the carrier's operation type and is recorded as a standalone administrative finding in the federal data.
Taken together, the 44 violations across unsafe-driving and hours-of-service categories, the upper-third maintenance percentile ranking, and the seven-crash record with one injury represent the publicly available federal safety picture for API Express Inc (USDOT 2558643) as drawn from FMCSA records.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving API Express Inc, the federal safety data summarized here may be relevant to a legal claim. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can review FMCSA records, crash reports, and inspection history to evaluate your options. You are encouraged to seek a consultation to understand what this record may mean for your situation.

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.
