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.

VINs inspected under this carrier were recently inspected under other USDOTs too — the active double-broker / shared-equipment signal: USDOT 4131210USDOT 1746222Some overlap is legitimate (leased or sold equipment); review alongside the other signals.

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