Key Transportation Inc (USDOT 3142786) carries a federal safety record marked by two separate authority revocations on file with FMCSA — a count that places this carrier in a distinct category among registered motor carriers whose operating authority has been interrupted more than once. Both revocations are documented in public FMCSA records, and the carrier's insurance history includes a coverage gap spanning a period of up to 359 days, the longest of one recorded lapse period on file.
Alongside those administrative records, FMCSA data shows two crashes involving this carrier, with one reported injury and no fatalities recorded. All two crashes occurred during daytime hours, with a nighttime crash share of zero percent. The crash count, while not high in absolute volume, sits within a record that also includes 19 violations logged over the most recent 24-month inspection window. Those violations fall within the unsafe-driving category, a classification tied to conduct at the wheel rather than equipment condition. The carrier's maintenance violation rate ranks at the 75th percentile, placing it above the majority of carriers nationally for that measure — meaning its maintenance-related inspection performance trails a substantial portion of the carrier population.
Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a liability limit of $750,000 on file, alongside the two crashes and one reported injury noted above. The underinsured designation reflects FMCSA's assessment based on the carrier's filing requirements relative to cargo or operation type.
The combination of two documented authority revocations, a coverage lapse of up to 359 days, an unsafe-driving violation profile across 19 recorded violations, and a maintenance percentile ranking above most carriers in the national pool defines a federal safety record that is specific to Key Transportation Inc (USDOT 3142786) and distinguishable from carriers with clean administrative histories.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving Key Transportation Inc, the details in this federal safety record may be relevant to a legal claim. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can review the FMCSA data and advise you on your options. You are encouraged to seek a consultation as soon as possible, as legal deadlines in personal injury matters 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.
