Insurance limit on file
Priority Freight Systems Inc (USDOT 3062862) carries a federal safety record that draws attention across several distinct dimensions, each independently documented in public FMCSA data.
Beginning with administrative standing: FMCSA records show a prior authority revocation on file for this carrier. Separately, the record documents one insurance coverage gap, with the longest continuous lapse period extending 652 days. The carrier's current liability limit on file is $1,000,000, and alongside the three total crashes recorded under FMCSA — none of which involved fatalities or reported injuries — FMCSA records also flag the carrier as underinsured based on its filing requirements.
On the crash record itself, three total crashes appear in FMCSA data, with zero fatalities and zero injuries reported across all three. What gives the crash picture its particular character is the night-time concentration: two-thirds of the recorded crashes — a share of 0.667 — occurred during nighttime hours, meaning the majority of this carrier's crash involvement is clustered outside daylight conditions rather than spread evenly across all operating hours.
The violation record adds a further layer. Nineteen violations are documented over the most recent 24-month period. The violation types logged are categorized as unsafe-driving, a category that speaks to behavior at the point of operation rather than equipment condition. On the maintenance side, this carrier ranks in the 28th percentile, placing it in the better-performing portion of carriers for maintenance-related scoring — meaning its maintenance figures are not among the elevated-risk end of the national distribution. The unsafe-driving violations, by contrast, stand as the dominant compliance concern in this record.
Taken together, the FMCSA file for Priority Freight Systems Inc presents a record that includes a revocation, an extended insurance lapse period, an underinsured flag, a nighttime-heavy crash profile, and nineteen unsafe-driving violations logged over two years — each a distinct, independently verified entry in the public federal record.
If you or someone you love was injured in a crash involving Priority Freight Systems Inc, you may have legal options worth exploring with an attorney who handles commercial trucking cases. A lawyer can review the full FMCSA record, evaluate your situation, and advise you on your rights — reaching out for a consultation costs nothing and carries no obligation.

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.
