CHI LOGISTICS INC (USDOT 2862416) carries a federal compliance record that draws from multiple categories of regulatory concern simultaneously, making it one of the more broadly documented carriers in the public FMCSA dataset. Over the most recent measurable period, the carrier accumulated 105 violations across a span that touches nearly every major federal safety category: maintenance deficiencies, unsafe driving, hours-of-service infractions, and controlled-substances violations are all represented. The maintenance violation rate alone ranks in the upper fifth of all carriers for that category — a level that places CHI LOGISTICS INC among the worse-performing carriers nationally on equipment and upkeep compliance. The presence of controlled-substances violations alongside unsafe-driving citations broadens the compliance picture well beyond a single regulatory domain.
The crash record associated with CHI LOGISTICS INC in FMCSA data stands at 6 total reported crashes, with 3 injuries recorded and no fatalities. Of those 6 crashes, 40 percent occurred during nighttime hours, meaning a substantial share of the carrier's crash involvement falls outside daylight conditions. Six crashes with injuries on record is not a negligible frequency for a carrier whose compliance profile already spans multiple violation types.
FMCSA records also show two separate insurance coverage gaps, with the longest single lapse extending 643 days — nearly a year and three quarters without continuous coverage on file. Separately, the carrier's record includes 6 crashes with 3 reported injuries, alongside an underinsured flag and a $1,000,000 liability limit on file, with the underinsured designation reflecting FMCSA's own filing-requirement determinations based on cargo and operation type. The two coverage gaps and the underinsured flag appear as co-occurring administrative facts within the same federal record.
Taken together, the FMCSA record for CHI LOGISTICS INC reflects a carrier whose documented history spans crash involvement, a high-volume violation count distributed across four distinct regulatory categories, a maintenance ranking in the worse-performing tier nationally, insurance coverage interruptions of significant duration, and an active underinsured designation — all drawn from the same public federal source.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving CHI LOGISTICS INC, the details of that carrier's federal safety record may be relevant to your legal options. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can review the FMCSA data alongside the specific circumstances of the crash. Reaching out to a qualified trucking injury lawyer for a consultation is a straightforward first step toward understanding your rights.

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.
