Mares Installations Inc, operating under USDOT number 3908633, carries a maintenance-violation record that ranks among the worst-scoring carriers in the country. Over the most recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA records document 22 violations on file, concentrated in two categories: maintenance deficiencies and driver-fitness infractions. That combination places the carrier at the 98th percentile for maintenance violations nationally — meaning the overwhelming majority of comparable motor carriers perform better on this measure. The two violation types together point to a fleet and operational profile where both the condition of equipment and the qualification or readiness of drivers have drawn federal scrutiny.
The crash record associated with USDOT 3908633 shows two crashes on file, involving one reported injury and no fatalities. A distinctive feature of this carrier's crash record is that both crashes occurred during nighttime hours — a 100 percent nighttime share, meaning every crash in the FMCSA record happened outside daylight conditions. Separately, the record shows that FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file, alongside the two crashes involving one injury recorded during the same period.
If you were injured in a crash involving Mares Installations Inc and are trying to understand what the federal safety record shows, an attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can help you evaluate your options. The public FMCSA data summarized here is a starting point, and legal counsel can assist you in gathering the full record and determining next steps.

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.
