VAN SMITH CO INC 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.

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 1996301Some overlap is legitimate (leased or sold equipment); review alongside the other signals.
