Insurance limit on file
RUSSELL TRANSPORT INC, operating under USDOT number 515580, carries a federal safety record marked by a documented authority revocation alongside a crash history and a violation profile that together distinguish this carrier from the broader regulated trucking population.
FMCSA crash records show 14 total crashes on file, with 9 injuries reported across those incidents and no fatalities recorded. Nearly 43 percent of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours, meaning crashes are distributed across both daylight and low-light conditions rather than concentrated in a single window. Fourteen crashes places this carrier in a high-frequency range relative to the general carrier population and signals a sustained pattern of roadway exposure accompanied by documented harm.
The violation record is extensive. Over the most recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA records reflect 406 total violations — a figure that places this carrier at the 68th percentile for maintenance violations, meaning it scores worse than a majority of comparable carriers on that dimension. The violation types on record extend beyond equipment and maintenance deficiencies: unsafe-driving citations, hours-of-service infractions, and controlled-substances violations are all documented in the federal record. That combination — spanning driver behavior, scheduling compliance, and substance-related findings — reflects breadth across multiple regulatory categories, not concentration in a single area.
Separately, FMCSA records show one authority revocation on file for this carrier. The record also reflects one insurance coverage gap, with the longest lapse period extending 33 days. The carrier's liability insurance limit stands at $1,000,000, and across the carrier's 14 crashes with 9 reported injuries, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured relative to its FMCSA filing requirements.
Taken together, the public federal record for RUSSELL TRANSPORT INC, USDOT 515580, includes a high crash count, injuries, a broad and voluminous violation history, a documented authority revocation, a coverage lapse, and an underinsured flag — each a discrete matter of public record available through FMCSA.

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.
