SALAZAR SERVICE & TRUCKING CORP (USDOT 1629244) carries a federal safety record defined by one standout feature: a maintenance-violation burden that ranks among the worst-scoring carriers in the country. Over the most recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA records document 35 violations, placing the carrier at the 98th percentile for maintenance violations nationally — meaning only a small fraction of carriers score worse. Alongside maintenance, the violation record also includes driver-fitness citations, indicating that the compliance gaps on file extend beyond equipment condition to the readiness of the personnel behind the wheel.
The carrier's crash history over the same period shows two reported incidents. Neither involved a fatality nor a recorded injury. Half of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours, giving the two-crash record an even split between daytime and nighttime conditions. The crash count itself is low, but the violation profile that surrounds it — 35 citations concentrated in maintenance and driver-fitness categories, at a severity rank that places the carrier in the bottom two percent of all rated carriers — is the defining characteristic of this record.
No underinsured flag appears in FMCSA records for this carrier, and no authority revocation is on file.
If you or a family member were injured in a crash involving SALAZAR SERVICE & TRUCKING CORP, the federal safety data summarized here is part of the public record that an attorney may examine when evaluating your case. Speaking with a trucking accident lawyer about your legal options costs nothing at most firms and can help you understand what the full record may mean for a potential claim.

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.
