KMS Freight Inc (USDOT 3515360) carries a federal safety record marked by an authority revocation on file, a concentrated crash history, and a violation count that places it well above average among comparable carriers. FMCSA records show a prior authority revocation — a single revocation documented in the agency's public registry. Alongside that administrative history, the carrier has accumulated 69 violations across a 24-month window, a total that ranks in the upper quartile of carriers for overall violation volume. The violation profile is defined by two categories: unsafe-driving infractions and hours-of-service infractions, meaning the record reflects concerns about both how the carrier's drivers operate on the road and how driving-time limits are observed.
The crash record covers four total crashes, three of which involved injuries, with no fatalities recorded. What distinguishes the crash profile is the day-night distribution: approximately two-thirds of those four crashes — a night-crash share of 66.7 percent — occurred during nighttime hours, a concentration that sets this carrier apart from carriers whose crashes are more evenly distributed across the day. With four total crashes and three reported injuries, the frequency and nighttime skew together define a crash record that is notable for a fleet of this size.
On the maintenance side, the carrier's maintenance-violation rate ranks at the 75th percentile, placing it in the upper quarter of carriers by that measure, though the dominant violation types on file are unsafe-driving and hours-of-service rather than equipment-condition categories. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file, alongside the four crashes and three injuries documented in the agency's crash database. The timing of the authority revocation relative to other records in the file has been confirmed as precise in FMCSA's system.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving KMS Freight Inc, you may have legal options worth exploring with a qualified trucking attorney. An attorney familiar with FMCSA records can review the carrier's full federal safety file and advise you on next steps. Many trucking injury attorneys offer free initial consultations and can help you understand your rights.

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.
