Insurance limit on file
SMITHFOODS TRUCKING INC, operating under USDOT 799744, carries a federal authority history that includes a prior revocation on file with FMCSA. That revocation stands as the defining administrative fact in this carrier's public record. Separately, FMCSA records document one insurance coverage gap, with the longest lapse period extending 51 days — a span during which continuous financial-responsibility coverage was interrupted according to the federal filing record.
The carrier's crash record in FMCSA data consists of one reported crash, involving one injury and no fatalities. Notably, that crash occurred during nighttime hours, accounting for the entirety of the carrier's crash activity — a single incident concentrated outside daylight conditions. Alongside that crash record, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file. Two violations appear in the 24-month inspection window. On the maintenance side, the carrier's violation rate ranks in the lower-middle tier of carriers nationally, placing it in approximately the 37th percentile — meaning it scores better than a substantial portion of carriers on that metric, though violations remain on record. The violation picture is modest in volume, with two total violations documented across the review period.
Taken together, the federal record for SMITHFOODS TRUCKING INC reflects a prior authority revocation, a documented insurance lapse of 51 days, and a crash record that is limited in count but concentrated entirely in nighttime hours, with one injury recorded. Each of these elements — the revocation, the coverage gap, the inspection violations, and the crash — exists as an independent data point in public FMCSA filings. FMCSA records show one separate authority revocation on file for this carrier.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving SMITHFOODS TRUCKING INC, the federal data summarized here may be relevant to a legal claim. An attorney with experience in commercial trucking cases can review the full FMCSA record and advise you on your options. You are encouraged to seek a consultation as soon as possible, as time limits may apply to trucking injury claims in your state.

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.
