Ask counsel promptly about preservation requests and potentially short-lived data.

Records and physical evidence

Carrier and vehicle identifiers
Driver and witness details
Electronic, inspection, cargo, and maintenance records

Electronic logging, telematics, dispatch, inspection, maintenance, cargo, and camera data can have different retention periods. A prompt, properly scoped preservation plan matters.

People, organizations, and insurance

The driver, motor carrier, tractor or trailer owner, shipper, broker, loader, maintenance provider, leasing company, employer, and electronic-system vendors may be distinct.

Commercial liability layers, cargo, trailer, employer, shipper, owner, and personal policies require policy-specific analysis; federal registration is not proof of coverage for a claim.
