Inspection coverage· expected vs observed · the fraud signal

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.

Roadside-inspection volume is about what you'd expect for a 181-unit fleet — enough signal to read the safety record, though not a heavy sample.

Percentile = standing among same-exposure peers (higher = worse). FMCSA publishes percentiles for only some carriers (shown official); elsewhere we show a Vektor peer-percentile estimate, or the absolute SMS measure when there are too few inspections to rank.

ELD & hours-of-service

49 hours-of-service / ELD violations on record · most recent Jun 12, 2026. FMCSA does not publish the ELD device brand; these are the carrier's logging-compliance signals.

21ELD device issues

Trending worse — 57% of ELD violations are in the last 24 months. Falsified-log violations are a serious integrity flag.
