DANIELS SHARPSMART INC, operating under USDOT number 1295076, carries a maintenance-violation record that places it among the lower-ranking carriers in federal safety scoring — sitting at the 20th percentile for maintenance, meaning the large majority of carriers score better on this measure. That standing is anchored by 200 maintenance violations logged within a recent 24-month window, a volume that marks this carrier as one of the more heavily cited fleets in the maintenance category across FMCSA's monitored population.
Against that regulatory backdrop, FMCSA crash records show 11 total crashes involving this carrier, with 3 reported injuries and no fatalities recorded. The crash profile includes a nighttime dimension: 20 percent of the carrier's crashes occurred during nighttime hours, with the remaining incidents distributed across daytime operations. The 11-crash total, viewed alongside the maintenance-violation volume, reflects a carrier whose federal record spans both the inspection and crash-reporting systems simultaneously. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $3,000,000 liability limit on file and an underinsured designation tied to FMCSA filing requirements, alongside those 11 crashes and 3 injuries in the crash record.
The maintenance-violation count of 200 across 24 months represents a sustained presence in FMCSA's inspection data, spanning equipment and vehicle-condition categories that federal examiners flagged repeatedly during that period. A carrier ranked at the 20th percentile on maintenance sits well outside the range of average performers and closer to the bottom tier of the scored population — a distinction that lives in the federal record for this USDOT number.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving DANIELS SHARPSMART INC, the safety record summarized here is drawn entirely from public FMCSA data and may be relevant to a legal claim. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can review whether this record bears on your situation. Reaching out to a qualified lawyer is a straightforward first step toward understanding 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.
