Western Cargo LLC (USDOT 3637880) carries a maintenance-skeleton flag driven primarily by its violation record, but the broader compliance picture spans multiple enforcement categories. Over the most recent 24-month inspection window, FMCSA records show 42 violations on file — a volume that places this carrier in the upper-middle range of violation frequency, ranking above the majority of comparable carriers for accumulated regulatory infractions. The violation types on record extend beyond equipment and roadworthiness concerns into unsafe-driving citations and controlled-substances violations, a combination that spans both operational conduct and driver-fitness dimensions of federal oversight.
The carrier's crash record over the same period includes 6 total crashes, with 2 injuries reported and no fatalities recorded. Of those 6 crashes, 60% occurred during nighttime hours, meaning crashes involving this carrier were concentrated in low-light conditions at a rate notably higher than daylight incidents. The maintenance percentile rank of 68 places Western Cargo LLC in the upper tier of carriers when scored for maintenance-related compliance pressure — sitting above more than two-thirds of carriers on that metric.
Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file alongside the 6 crashes and 2 reported injuries in the carrier's federal crash history. The underinsured designation reflects FMCSA's assessment based on filing requirements for the carrier's cargo or operation type.
If you were injured in a crash involving Western Cargo LLC, the federal records summarized here — including violation history, crash data, and insurance filing status — may be relevant to a legal claim. An attorney with experience in commercial trucking cases can review these public records in the context of your situation. You are encouraged to consult with qualified legal counsel about your options.

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.
