Insurance limit on file
KA Logistics Inc (USDOT 1718638) carries a federal safety record shaped primarily by a high volume of violations and a crash history that, while modest in scale, includes documented injuries. Over a recent 24-month window, FMCSA inspection records show 83 violations on file — a count that places KA Logistics Inc among carriers with elevated regulatory exposure. The violation profile extends beyond routine equipment issues: the record includes unsafe-driving citations and controlled-substances violations, categories that go to the conduct of drivers behind the wheel rather than to mechanical upkeep alone. On the maintenance side, the carrier's violation rate ranks in the 59th percentile, positioning it in the upper half of carriers nationally for that measure.
The crash record covers 9 total crashes, with 4 injuries reported and no fatalities recorded. Roughly one in nine of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours — approximately 11 percent of the total crash share — meaning the large majority took place during daylight conditions. Separately, FMCSA records flag KA Logistics Inc as underinsured, with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file, alongside the 9 crashes and 4 reported injuries in the carrier's federal history.
The picture that emerges from public FMCSA data is one of a carrier with a concentrated violation load, a violation profile that includes driver-conduct categories, and a crash record involving multiple injuries — all drawn from the same federal dataset.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving a vehicle operated by KA Logistics Inc, you may have legal options worth exploring with a qualified attorney. A lawyer experienced in commercial trucking cases can review the FMCSA record and advise you on your rights. Consultations with personal injury attorneys are often available at no upfront cost. Reaching out to legal counsel is a practical first step toward understanding what remedies may be available to you.

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.
