USA TRUCK LINES INC, operating under USDOT number 2813454, carries a maintenance-skeleton record defined primarily by its violation history rather than its crash frequency. Over the most recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA records document 51 violations, a volume that places this carrier at the 42nd percentile for maintenance-related violation rates — meaning a substantial majority of comparable carriers score worse, though the 51-violation total across that period is a count that merits noting on its own terms. Among the violation types on file, controlled-substances violations appear in the record, a category distinct from ordinary equipment or hours-of-service findings and one that federal inspectors flag separately from mechanical compliance issues.
The crash record associated with USDOT 2813454 spans three total crashes, none of which involved a fatality, with one injury reported across those incidents. Notably, not a single one of those three crashes was recorded during nighttime hours — the night-crash share stands at zero, meaning all three occurred during daytime conditions. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file alongside those three crashes and one reported injury, reflecting a determination based on FMCSA filing requirements for the carrier's operation type.
Taken as a whole, the federal record for USA TRUCK LINES INC presents a carrier whose violation volume — anchored by controlled-substances findings among its 51 logged violations in 24 months — sits alongside a modest but real crash history involving one injured person.
If you or someone you know was injured in a crash involving USA TRUCK LINES INC, the federal safety record described here may be relevant to your legal situation.

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.
