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. An attorney experienced in commercial trucking cases can review FMCSA records, assess what happened, and help you understand your options. Reaching out to a qualified lawyer at no cost is often the first step, and you should not have to navigate that process alone.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.

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.
