ROTRANS INC (USDOT 1555321) carries a federal safety record built around two converging threads: a high volume of unsafe-driving violations and a documented insurance coverage gap, each standing independently in the public FMCSA file. Over the most recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA records show 97 violations, all concentrated in the unsafe-driving category — a volume that places this carrier among the more heavily cited carriers for that violation type. Unsafe-driving citations cover behaviors such as speeding, lane discipline, and seatbelt non-compliance, and a 97-count accumulation over two years represents an elevated and sustained pattern of citation activity within that single category. On maintenance violations, the carrier's percentile rank sits in the mid-range, so it is the unsafe-driving tier that defines the violation profile here.
The crash record stands separately. FMCSA records show 7 total crashes in the dataset, involving 1 injury and no fatalities. Of those 7 crashes, approximately 14.3 percent occurred during nighttime hours, meaning the large majority took place in daylight or standard operating conditions. At 7 crashes with a single reported injury, the crash count is modest in absolute terms, though it coincides with the elevated unsafe-driving violation volume noted above.
On the insurance side, FMCSA records flag ROTRANS INC as underinsured, with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file across 7 crashes and 1 reported injury. Separately, the record shows 1 insurance gap period, with the longest single lapse extending 731 days — just over two years without continuous coverage on file. That gap period and the underinsured flag are administrative records within the FMCSA file and are reported here as they appear in the public data.
Taken together, the FMCSA record for ROTRANS INC (USDOT 1555321) reflects a carrier whose documented federal history includes a high unsafe-driving violation count, a seven-crash involvement record, a prolonged insurance coverage gap, and a current underinsured status alongside 1 injury across those crashes.
If you or a family member were injured in a crash involving ROTRANS INC, the details in this federal record may be relevant to a legal claim and worth discussing with a qualified attorney. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can help you understand how public FMCSA data fits into your specific situation. You are encouraged to seek a consultation to explore your options.

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.
