What these records mean if you were injured
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.
Across 68 federal inspections in the past two years, WT Byler Company's vehicle out-of-service rate (23.8%) places in the top quarter of comparable high-inspection-volume carriers with crash records.
Brake violations were recorded on 7 federal inspections in the past two years.
$1M in liability coverage is on file — 1.3× the $750K federal floor for general freight.
WT Byler Company's federal operating authority has been involuntarily revoked once — most recently Aug 2002.
In Texas, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 2 years of the crash.
For the most recent crash on this record, that general window runs to about Nov 2027.
There are exceptions — which ones apply to your case is a lawyer's job.

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.
