Network & fraud
Affiliated entities & reincarnation signals · for review, not a verdict
Last 12 months: 2 trucks 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 4359714Some overlap is legitimate (leased or sold equipment); review alongside the other signals.
Capacity consistency· registered vs roadside-observed power units
Registered (MCS-150)66
Observed (24 mo)33

Registered capacity materially exceeds what is observed roadside — the MCS-150 may be stale or the fleet under-utilized.
