Crashes: ~1 every 17 days
Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and truck's logs show in the hours before your crash.
Liability Insurance Status
This carrier operates as a private fleet. Federal regulators do not require private carriers to file liability insurance, so no filing is expected here — insurance held privately is not disclosed in federal records.

ACTIVE FILINGS (ALL TYPES): 0 | SELF-INSURED: No
When a carrier's federal record shows no active insurance on file, a qualified attorney can investigate other potential sources of recovery — including the carrier's assets, related parties, and state-level or unfiled policies — to identify defendants that could contribute to a 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.
SafeNY is an independent legal-advertising service — not a law firm. Your submission is routed to one licensed personal-injury firm in your state.
