Trans American Express Inc (USDOT 2158062) carries a maintenance-adjacent violation profile that is worth examining closely — though notably, the violation types on file span unsafe driving, hours-of-service compliance, and driver fitness, three categories that together paint a broad picture of operational oversight. Over the most recent 24-month period, FMCSA records show 71 violations logged against this carrier, a volume that places Trans American Express Inc in the upper quartile of carriers ranked by maintenance violation rate — meaning it scores worse than the majority of comparable carriers on that measure. Every one of the two crashes recorded in FMCSA data for this carrier occurred at night, a concentration that makes this a carrier whose entire crash footprint falls within nighttime hours; one of those two crashes involved an injury, and neither involved a fatality.
The violation breakdown reveals that the 71 recorded infractions are not limited to a single operational category. Unsafe-driving violations, hours-of-service violations, and driver-fitness violations all appear in the record, indicating that the compliance gaps reflected in FMCSA data touch multiple aspects of carrier operations simultaneously. With 71 violations across a two-year window, Trans American Express Inc ranks in the 76th percentile for maintenance-related violations — placing it among carriers whose violation frequency is elevated relative to most of the national carrier population. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file, alongside a crash record of two total crashes in which one person was injured.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving Trans American Express Inc, the federal records summarized here may be relevant to a legal claim. An attorney with experience in commercial trucking cases can review the FMCSA data and advise you on your options. You are encouraged to contact a qualified personal injury lawyer as soon as possible, as time limits apply to filing 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.
