Capacity· power units = haulable capacity; trailers are towed
Capacity is power units only — trailers are towed equipment and are never summed into a fleet-size figure.

Capacity consistency· registered vs roadside-observed power units
Registered capacity materially exceeds what is observed roadside — the MCS-150 may be stale or the fleet under-utilized.
