DMK Express Inc (USDOT 1328852) carries a federal safety record defined by an authority revocation, a concentrated violation profile, and a crash history spanning six reported incidents. FMCSA records show one prior authority revocation on file. Separately, over the most recent 24-month reporting window, FMCSA data shows 46 violations logged against the carrier — a figure that places DMK Express in the lower tier of carriers for overall compliance volume. Critically, those violations fall within the unsafe-driving category, meaning the conduct flagged by federal inspectors centers on behavior behind the wheel rather than equipment or scheduling failures.
The six total crashes on record produced one reported injury and no fatalities. A breakdown of when those crashes occurred shows that approximately one in six took place during nighttime hours, with the remaining majority occurring during daylight. While the crash count of six is not the highest in the industry, it reflects a meaningful frequency for a carrier operating at this scale, particularly when read alongside a violation record concentrated entirely in unsafe-driving infractions.
FMCSA records also show one insurance coverage gap period on file, with the longest lapse extending 40 days. In that same record, the carrier's six crashes and one reported injury appear alongside an underinsured flag, with a $750,000 liability limit on file and an FMCSA determination that the carrier does not meet applicable coverage thresholds for its operation type. The carrier's maintenance violation percentile rank places it in the 31st percentile — meaning its maintenance scores fall in the lower-middle range relative to the broader carrier population, though the dominant compliance concern in this record remains the unsafe-driving violation category.
Taken together, the public FMCSA docket for DMK Express Inc reflects a carrier whose federal record includes a revocation, a multi-decade violation concentration in unsafe driving, a coverage gap, an underinsured flag alongside a single-injury crash history, and an overall compliance posture that sits below the industry midpoint across several dimensions.
If you or someone you love was injured in a crash involving DMK Express Inc, you may have legal options worth exploring with a qualified attorney. A lawyer experienced in commercial trucking cases can review the full FMCSA record — including violations, insurance filings, and crash data — and help you understand whether a claim is appropriate for your situation. You are encouraged to seek a consultation as soon as possible, as deadlines for filing claims vary by state.

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.
