Vehicle OOS vs nat'l avg
Horizon Midwest Inc (USDOT 2317693) carries a maintenance-violation record that places it in the worse-performing tier among federally monitored carriers — its maintenance percentile rank situates it well above most of its peers in violation frequency, a distinction that reflects 257 violations logged across vehicle inspection and controlled-substances categories within the most recent 24-month window. That volume, spanning two distinct violation types, marks a broad compliance footprint rather than a narrow or isolated deficiency. Maintenance violations dominate the record, but the presence of controlled-substances violations alongside them means the compliance picture extends beyond mechanical upkeep into driver-related federal requirements.
The crash record attached to this carrier covers 23 total crashes, with 9 injuries reported and no fatalities recorded. Roughly one in four of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours — a night-crash share of 23.8 percent — leaving the majority concentrated in daytime conditions. Twenty-three crashes represents a high-frequency total for a carrier of this type, and the injury count of 9 across that pool underscores the human dimension of the on-road record. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $4,000,000 liability limit on file, alongside the 23 crashes and 9 reported injuries noted above. All figures derive from public FMCSA records for USDOT 2317693.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving Horizon Midwest Inc, the federal compliance and crash data summarized here may be directly relevant to a legal claim. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking liability can evaluate how these records apply to your situation. Reaching out to qualified legal counsel is a meaningful 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.
