Vehicle OOS vs nat'l avg
Out-of-service inspection record
Out-of-Service (OOS) Rate — how often federal inspectors pulled this carrier's trucks or drivers off the road for safety violations.
Vehicle Out-of-Service (OOS) Rate
CARRIER: 15.0% | NATL AVG: 14.4%
ABOVE NATIONAL AVERAGE. Approximately 1 in every 7 federal inspections resulted in a direct order to remove this carrier's vehicle from the road.
Driver Out-of-Service (OOS) Rate
CARRIER: 0.7% | NATL AVG: 6.0%
At or below the national average (▸ marker).
An above-average out-of-service rate is the kind of federal record an attorney reviews when building a case. You don't have to interpret it alone. → Have this record reviewed

Per-unit Out-of-Service (OOS) rates shown above.
Crashes: ~1 every 13 days
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.
Liability Insurance Status
Liability insurance is the coverage carriers file with federal regulators (the federal category is called "BIPD" — Bodily Injury & Property Damage). The figure below is this carrier's filed limit — a compliance floor, not necessarily the full coverage available.
Filed Liability Limit
$1M
Primary Insurer
Protective Insurance Co.
ACTIVE FILINGS (ALL TYPES): 1 | SELF-INSURED: No
Carriers of this size often hold excess and umbrella policies beyond the public filing. A qualified attorney in your state uses this federal record to identify policies and defendants that could contribute to a claim.

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.
