Sunway Carriers Inc (USDOT 3097552) carries a crash and compliance record that sets it apart from most carriers operating in its class. Over the period captured in federal data, the carrier was involved in 17 crashes, with 7 injuries reported and no fatalities recorded. More than six in ten of those crashes — specifically 62.5 percent — occurred during nighttime hours, meaning crashes involving this carrier are heavily concentrated in the darker, lower-visibility portions of the day. That distribution alone distinguishes this carrier's crash profile from the broader trucking population.
On the compliance side, FMCSA inspection records show 177 violations logged within a 24-month window, a volume that places Sunway Carriers Inc in the upper tier of violation frequency across the national carrier pool. The carrier's maintenance violation rate ranks in the 79th percentile, meaning it scores worse than a substantial majority of comparable carriers on maintenance-related compliance — a category that covers vehicle condition, equipment standards, and roadworthiness findings recorded during roadside inspections. Alongside maintenance violations, the record also documents unsafe-driving violations, extending the compliance picture beyond equipment concerns into the conduct of vehicle operation itself. FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $1,000,000 liability limit on file, alongside the 17 crashes in which 7 injuries were reported.
Taken together, the federal record for USDOT 3097552 reflects a carrier whose inspection history sits well above average in violation density, whose crash involvement spans a notable total with a strong nighttime concentration, and whose compliance findings span both equipment and driving-conduct categories.
If you or someone you care for was injured in a crash involving Sunway Carriers Inc, federal records like these can be a meaningful starting point for understanding the carrier's history. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can help you evaluate your options and what this public record may mean for your situation. You are encouraged to seek qualified legal counsel promptly, as time limits apply to injury claims.

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.
