J W Express Inc (USDOT 267985)

J W EXPRESS INC (USDOT 267985) carries a federal safety record defined most sharply by its maintenance violation history. Over the most recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA records document 29 violations spanning both maintenance and unsafe-driving categories, placing J W EXPRESS INC among the worst-scoring carriers in the country for maintenance violations — a 96th-percentile rank that situates the carrier near the very top of the enforcement distribution nationwide.

Against that violation backdrop, FMCSA crash records show three total crashes involving one injury and no fatalities. What sharpens the picture further is the distribution of those crashes across the clock: two out of every three occurred during nighttime hours, meaning crashes involving this carrier are concentrated in low-light, overnight operating conditions rather than spread evenly across the day. That proportion — a night-crash share of 66.7 percent — is a distinctive characteristic of this carrier's crash record. The three recorded crashes, alongside 29 violations and a maintenance rank placing the carrier near the ceiling of FMCSA's enforcement scale, collectively define a record that is narrow in crash count but dense in regulatory flags. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file and three reported crashes in the same period.

The violation profile itself spans two categories. Maintenance violations — the dominant type — drive the 96th-percentile rank, while unsafe-driving violations appear alongside them as a secondary category in the inspection record. Together these two violation types account for the full 29-violation count documented over the review window.
