Midwest Express Acquisition LLC (USDOT 2497935)

Midwest Express Acquisition LLC (USDOT 2497935) carries a maintenance-focused violation profile that places it near the middle of the national ranking for maintenance violations — with 56 total violations recorded across a 24-month window, the volume reflects a persistent compliance burden for a carrier of its size and scope. Among the violation types documented in that period are controlled-substances violations, a category that federal safety regulators track as part of driver-qualification and substance-testing oversight. The 56-violation figure, taken alongside a maintenance percentile rank at the 51st position, situates this carrier in the middle tier of the national fleet — neither among the best-performing carriers nor among the worst, but representing a compliance record that federal records make publicly available for review.

The crash record associated with Midwest Express Acquisition LLC spans 7 total reported incidents, with 3 injuries across those crashes and no fatalities recorded in FMCSA data. A notable characteristic of the crash distribution is its concentration in nighttime hours: 57.1 percent of the carrier's reported crashes occurred during nighttime conditions, meaning more than half of all incidents on file took place outside daylight hours. The record also shows, separately, that FMCSA flags this carrier as underinsured — with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file — alongside the 7 crashes with 3 reported injuries. The insurance flag reflects FMCSA's determination based on filing requirements for the carrier's operation and cargo type; it stands as an independent administrative record.
