Inspection coverage· expected vs observed · the fraud signal

Inspection coverage

How heavily FMCSA inspects this fleet for its size — it tells you how much to trust the safety signals above. Thin coverage on a young authority is a fraud signal nobody else surfaces.

Roadside-inspection volume is about what you'd expect for a 22-unit fleet — enough signal to read the safety record, though not a heavy sample.
