The most counterintuitive pattern in this dataset is that the carriers with the worst violation ratios are almost universally micro-operations, while the carriers with the highest absolute crash counts are the largest fleets in the country. TF Transport Services LLC, ranked first by violations per inspection at 18.27 across 15 inspections, operates a single power unit and has a 100% out-of-service rate, meaning every inspection resulted in a vehicle or driver being pulled from service. The next four carriers on that list, including Morayma B Ochoa (18.0 violations per inspection, 11 inspections) and Cris Transportation LLC (17.8 violations per inspection, 15 inspections), are similarly small, each running between one and five power units. This divergence between small-carrier violation density and large-carrier crash volume is consistent with two different risk profiles coexisting in the same regulatory dataset: micro-carriers that appear to operate in chronic noncompliance but have limited exposure by volume, and large carriers whose aggregate crash counts reflect miles driven rather than per-unit safety performance. Federal Express Corporation's 3,207 total crashes across 138,481 power units produces a crashes-per-unit ratio of 0.02, identical to United Parcel Service (2,305 crashes, 112,321 units) and well below Western Express Inc, which posts 628 crashes against 3,332 units for a ratio of 0.19. The fastest-growing carriers by percentage change, led by Transco Leasing Co Inc at 7,700% (27 to 2,106 units), should be interpreted with caution given the pattern visible in the largest-fleet leaderboard, where top entries carry implausible unit counts in the hundreds of thousands against driver counts in the single digits, strongly suggesting self-reported data entry errors rather than actual fleet size. Several carriers on the largest-fleet list report authority ages of zero years, which may indicate recently registered entities inflating their power-unit figures at registration. The violation-ratio leaderboard is geographically concentrated, with roughly half the carriers registered in Texas and several others in Mexican states (Sonora, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas), consistent with cross-border inspection patterns at ports of entry along the southern border. Across a five-year trailing window, the crash data for the largest carriers reflects the ongoing consolidation of volume among a small number of national operators whose combined crash totals, while high in absolute terms, sit at ratios that have remained low relative to fleet size. ### Key Statistics 18.27 Violations per inspection for the carrier with the worst ratio (TF Transport Services LLC, TX) Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 100% Out-of-service rate for TF Transport Services LLC across 15 inspections Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 274 Total violations recorded for TF Transport Services LLC (1 power unit, 15 inspections) Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 3,207 Total crashes recorded for Federal Express Corporation, the highest absolute count in the dataset Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 89 Total fatalities associated with Federal Express Corporation crashes Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 0.02 Crashes per power unit for Federal Express Corporation (138,481 units) Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 0.19 Crashes per power unit for Western Express Inc (3,332 units), among the highest ratios in the most-crashes leaderboard Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 7,700% Reported fleet growth for Transco Leasing Co Inc (OR), from 27 to 2,106 power units Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 566 Total violations for Agropecuaria Malichita SA de CV across 33 inspections, the highest raw violation count on the violation-ratio leaderboard Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 25 Number of carriers appearing on the newest-authority leaderboard with an authority date of 2026-06-01 As of 2026-06-15 28,500 Current reported power units for Victory Driveaway Inc (MO), the largest absolute unit gain among fastest-growing carriers Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 51 Total fatalities associated with United Parcel Service Inc crashes across 2,305 reported incidents Trailing 60 months through 2026-06-15 Cite this data AlphaLoops.
