Safeway Truck Lines LLC (USDOT 2328966)

SAFEWAY TRUCK LINES LLC, operating under USDOT number 2328966, carries a federal safety record that draws attention on two fronts: an insurance history marked by a significant coverage gap and a crash record concentrated heavily in nighttime hours. Together these elements, each independently documented in public FMCSA data, define the carrier's profile in ways that matter to anyone involved in a collision with one of its vehicles.

Starting with the crash record: FMCSA data shows nine total crashes on file for Safeway Truck Lines LLC, with three reported injuries and no fatalities. What distinguishes this crash record is its day-night distribution — more than half of all crashes, specifically 55.6 percent, occurred during nighttime hours, meaning the majority of incidents in this carrier's history took place in conditions of reduced ambient light. Nine crashes with a nighttime concentration of that magnitude places this carrier in a category where crash exposure skews toward the hours statistically associated with lower traffic volume but heightened individual risk.

The violation record adds a second dimension. Across a recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA recorded 82 violations for this carrier. The dominant violation type on file is hours-of-service — the federal rules governing how long commercial drivers may operate without rest. At the 70th percentile for maintenance violations, the carrier ranks in the upper third of carriers nationwide for that category, meaning a substantial majority of carriers score better on maintenance compliance. Eighty-two violations across two years represents a high-frequency compliance burden by any measure of the federal inspection record.

On the insurance side, FMCSA records flag Safeway Truck Lines LLC as underinsured — a designation rooted in FMCSA's own filing requirements based on cargo and operation type — and the carrier's nine-crash record sits alongside a $1,000,000 liability limit on file. Separately, the insurance history shows one recorded lapse period, with the longest gap extending 212 days. A coverage interruption of more than seven months is a notable administrative fact within this carrier's regulatory history, and it appears in the FMCSA record independently of the crash data.

Taken across the full record, Safeway Truck Lines LLC presents a combination of a high volume of hours-of-service violations, a nighttime-skewed crash profile involving three injuries across nine incidents, an underinsured flag, and a 212-day insurance gap — each a separate, verified entry in public federal data.
