DAVID L SCHMIDT Network & Fraud Signals

Reincarnation chains, shared-VIN links, common domains and officers, and owner-group affiliations — the chameleon / double-broker signals that name-and-USDOT lookups miss.

Reincarnated carrier — prior authority was revoked

FMCSA links this carrier to a previously revoked authority: USDOT 1796422. Reincarnation is a primary chameleon-carrier pattern.

Named as the prior authority of newer carriers

1 carrier list this USDOT as their revoked predecessor: USDOT 1796422.

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 174646Some overlap is legitimate (leased or sold equipment); review alongside the other signals.
