Share of vehicle-level roadside inspections in each trailing six-month window that resulted in a vehicle out-of-service order. More resolved windows are needed to establish a trend. The national vehicle benchmark uses the same metric and is shown on the chart.

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.

Few roadside inspections for a 23-unit fleet — the out-of-service and violation signals above rest on a small sample, so weight them cautiously. Thin coverage on a young authority is itself a flag.
