Palmetto Transport Inc (USDOT 515866)

Palmetto Transport Inc (USDOT 515866) carries a federal safety record defined by an unusually extensive authority history: FMCSA records show five separate authority revocations on file, a figure that places this carrier in rare company among registered motor carriers. Alongside that administrative history, the carrier's crash record over the reviewed period totals 12 crashes, with 2 injuries and no fatalities reported. Notably, none of those 12 crashes occurred during nighttime hours — the entire crash record falls within daytime operations, giving the crash profile an unusually concentrated temporal character.

On the violation side, FMCSA records document 37 violations across the most recent 24-month inspection window. The violation profile is dominated by hours-of-service findings, meaning inspectors identified repeated departures from federal limits governing how long drivers may operate without rest. The carrier's maintenance violation rate ranks in the 72nd percentile, placing it in the upper tier of carriers for maintenance-related inspection findings — above the majority of comparable carriers in that category. Taken together, the violation record reflects both driver-scheduling concerns and elevated maintenance findings across the inspection period.

Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file alongside the 12 crashes and 2 reported injuries in the carrier's crash history. The underinsured designation reflects FMCSA's assessment of the carrier's coverage relative to applicable federal filing requirements for its cargo and operation type.
