Insurance limit on file
Seal Van Lines Inc (USDOT 581596) carries a federal operating history marked by a volume of authority interruptions that sets it apart from the broad carrier population: FMCSA records show seven separate authority revocations on file. That figure alone distinguishes this carrier's administrative record from the vast majority of interstate movers operating under continuous authority. Alongside the revocation history, the record documents one insurance coverage gap, with the longest single lapse period extending 788 days — more than two years during which coverage continuity was interrupted according to FMCSA filings.
On the compliance side, three violations were recorded across the most recent 24-month inspection window, spanning two distinct violation categories: maintenance deficiencies and hours-of-service infractions. The carrier's maintenance violation rate ranks in the 91st percentile, placing it among the worst-scoring carriers nationally for that category — a position in the upper tier of maintenance-related non-compliance across the FMCSA-monitored carrier universe. The presence of hours-of-service violations alongside maintenance findings means the compliance record touches both vehicle condition and driver scheduling requirements.
The crash record on file with FMCSA shows one reported incident, with zero fatalities and zero injuries documented. The single recorded crash involved no nighttime component, as the night-crash share stands at zero. The carrier's insurance limit on file is $1,000,000, and FMCSA records do not flag the carrier as underinsured.
Taken together, the public FMCSA docket for Seal Van Lines Inc presents a carrier whose administrative standing — seven revocations, a coverage gap exceeding two years, and a maintenance ranking in the worst-performing tier nationally — reflects a long and documentable federal compliance record that is available to attorneys and claimants through public agency sources.

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.
