Insurance limit on file
Speed Freight Inc, operating under USDOT 2638571, carries a federal safety record dominated by a heavy violation load and a poor maintenance standing that places it among the lowest-ranked carriers in the country for that category. Over the most recent 24-month reporting window, FMCSA records show 83 violations on file — a volume that pushes the carrier into the 13th percentile for maintenance, meaning it ranks worse than the vast majority of carriers nationwide on that measure. Beyond maintenance, the violation record also includes unsafe-driving citations, broadening the scope of compliance concerns documented in the federal file.
The crash record spans 7 total crashes, with 3 injuries reported and no fatalities recorded. Roughly one in three of those crashes — about 33 percent — occurred during nighttime hours, meaning a meaningful share of the carrier's crash involvement is concentrated in lower-visibility conditions. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file alongside those 7 crashes and 3 reported injuries.
Taken together, the federal record for Speed Freight Inc presents a picture defined by high violation frequency, a maintenance ranking that sits near the bottom of the national carrier population, documented unsafe-driving citations, and a crash history involving injuries spread across both daytime and nighttime operating conditions. All figures are drawn from public FMCSA records and reflect the data as reported in the federal safety database.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving Speed Freight Inc, the safety record summarized here may be relevant to your situation. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can review these federal records and help you understand your legal options. We encourage you to reach out to qualified legal counsel to discuss what this documentation may mean for your 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.
