PREMIER 1 TRUCKING LLC (USDOT 3187957) carries a federal safety record defined by an unusual combination of crash volume, unsafe-driving violations, and administrative history that sets it apart from the broad population of interstate carriers.
Over the period captured in public FMCSA records, the carrier has been involved in 15 crashes, with 5 injuries reported across that total and no fatalities recorded. Roughly 27 percent of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours, meaning the majority took place during daylight conditions. The crash count of 15 places this carrier in a high-frequency tier relative to similarly sized operations tracked by FMCSA.
The violation record compounds that picture. PREMIER 1 TRUCKING LLC accumulated 175 violations across the most recent 24-month inspection window, a figure that ranks in the lower quarter of carriers for maintenance compliance — specifically, FMCSA data places the carrier at the 23rd percentile for maintenance violations, indicating that the large majority of carriers score worse in that category. The violation types on file are concentrated in the unsafe-driving category, meaning federal inspectors flagged driver behavior rather than equipment deficiencies as the primary source of regulatory concern.
The insurance and authority history adds further layers to the public record. FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file — figures that accompany a crash record of 15 incidents with 5 injuries reported. Separately, the record shows two coverage gap periods, with the longest single lapse extending 6,490 days. FMCSA records also show one authority revocation on file for this carrier.
All of the above is drawn exclusively from public FMCSA records and reflects the agency's own reported data for USDOT 3187957.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving PREMIER 1 TRUCKING LLC, you may have legal options worth exploring with a qualified attorney. A lawyer experienced in commercial trucking cases can review the publicly available federal safety record and advise you on potential next steps. Reaching out to a trucking injury attorney for a consultation is a reasonable first step toward understanding your rights.

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.
