Martin Daniels Inc, operating under USDOT 2594419, carries a maintenance-violation record that places it among the worst-scoring carriers in the national FMCSA registry. Over the most recent twenty-four-month inspection window, federal examiners recorded 23 violations against this carrier, drawn from two categories: maintenance deficiencies and hours-of-service infractions. The maintenance component alone pushes the carrier to the 94th percentile nationally — meaning only a small fraction of carriers nationwide score worse. For a three-truck operation with a crash count of three reported incidents, that volume of violations reflects a high per-unit inspection burden concentrated heavily in the equipment and driver-hours categories.

Of the three crashes on file, none involved fatalities and none involved injuries. Roughly one in three of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours, placing a share of the carrier's incident record in lower-visibility operating conditions. The crash count itself is modest in absolute terms, but the violation density surrounding that record — 23 infractions across two enforcement categories within two years — situates this carrier at the far end of the maintenance-compliance spectrum among federally registered motor carriers.

Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file alongside the three reported crashes. The underinsured designation reflects FMCSA's own filing-requirement determinations based on the carrier's cargo and operation type.

Taken together, the public FMCSA record for Martin Daniels Inc presents a carrier whose violation accumulation — spanning both mechanical upkeep and driver-hours compliance — ranks it in the bottom tier of carriers by maintenance score, with crash activity and insurance status documented independently in the same federal record.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.

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.
