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.

Few roadside inspections for a 7-unit fleet — the out-of-service and violation signals above rest on a small sample, so weight them cautiously. Thin coverage on a young authority is itself a flag.

Network & fraud
Affiliated entities & reincarnation signals · for review, not a verdict
Last 12 months: 1 truck also ran under 1 other carrier
VINs inspected under this carrier were recently inspected under other USDOTs too — the active double-broker / shared-equipment signal: USDOT 25248Some overlap is legitimate (leased or sold equipment); review alongside the other signals.
Capacity consistency· registered vs roadside-observed power units
Registered (MCS-150)77
Observed (24 mo)44
Shared w/ other carriers11
Registered capacity materially exceeds what is observed roadside — the MCS-150 may be stale or the fleet under-utilized.
