Insurance limit on file
Golden State Container (USDOT 151874) carries a federal safety record defined by two separate authority revocations on file with FMCSA — a count that places this carrier in a category few active trucking operations share. Public FMCSA records confirm both revocations, and the timing data associated with those revocations is precise in the agency's files. That administrative history sits alongside a crash record of 12 total crashes, none involving fatalities, with 5 injuries reported across those events. Roughly 18 percent of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours, meaning the substantial majority took place during daylight or dusk conditions — a distribution that spans the full operating day rather than concentrating in any single window.
The violation record over the most recent 24-month period shows 48 violations logged, and the carrier's maintenance violation rate ranks in the 21st percentile — placing it well ahead of the majority of carriers on that measure, meaning its maintenance scoring is not in the high-risk tier for that category. That figure is one dimension of the 48 total violations on file; the complete violation picture spans multiple inspection categories reflected in FMCSA's data. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file alongside the 12 crashes and 5 reported injuries in the agency's crash data.
The combination of two documented authority revocations and 48 violations over a 24-month window, set against 12 recorded crashes with 5 injuries, represents the full scope of what public FMCSA records disclose about Golden State Container at this time. All figures cited here derive from FMCSA's publicly accessible carrier safety data.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving Golden State Container, a qualified trucking attorney can review the carrier's federal safety record and help you understand your legal options. Reaching out to an attorney familiar with commercial carrier cases is a reasonable first step toward assessing any potential claim.

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.
