Why these columns: a crash enters the federal file only when it involved a death, an injury taken for immediate medical care, or a vehicle towed disabled from the scene — the federal reportable-crash threshold. Property-damage-only crashes below that threshold are not in this record.
Who insures METRO GRAVEL trucks — and for how much?

What these records mean if you were injured
Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and truck's logs show in the hours before your crash.
Across 35 federal inspections in the past two years, METRO GRAVEL's vehicle out-of-service rate (9.4%) places below the median of comparable high-inspection-volume carriers with crash records.
$750K in liability coverage is on file — at the $750K federal floor for general freight.
In Minnesota, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 6 years of the crash.
For the most recent crash on this record, that general window runs to about May 2032.
There are exceptions — which ones apply to your case is a lawyer's job.
What to do if you were injured in a METRO GRAVEL crash
Federal records document crashes; they don't assign fault — fault is established by investigation, police reports, and litigation.
The carrier named here may not be the only responsible party — brokers, shippers, and manufacturers sit outside this record, each on their own clock.

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.
