Smart Trucking Incorporated (USDOT 3803863) carries a federal safety record defined primarily by its violation activity, with 59 violations logged in the most recent 24-month period. The violation types on file span unsafe-driving and hours-of-service categories — two areas regulators track as core indicators of operational discipline. Although the carrier's maintenance percentile rank places it in the middle of the national distribution rather than at its worst extreme, the volume of violations across unsafe-driving and hours-of-service domains shapes the overall picture of this carrier's compliance history.
The crash record associated with Smart Trucking Incorporated covers 8 total crashes, in which 3 injuries were reported and no fatalities were recorded. Roughly 14 percent of those crashes occurred during nighttime hours, meaning the substantial majority took place during daylight conditions. The 8-crash total, set against the backdrop of 59 documented violations in a two-year window, represents a notable volume of federal compliance activity for a single carrier. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file alongside those 8 crashes and 3 reported injuries.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving Smart Trucking Incorporated, the federal safety record described here may be relevant to your situation.

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.
