[All snapshots](/data/carriers/archive) ## Analysis · as of May 28, 2026 ### Highlights - FALCON UTILITY LLC recorded 18.45 violations per inspection across 11 inspections, the highest ratio in the dataset, with a 100% out-of-service rate. - The 'largest fleet' leaderboard is dominated by data anomalies: the top 14 carriers each report power unit counts between 400,000 and 2.1 million against driver counts of 0–12. - TRANSCO LEASING CO INC grew its fleet from 27 to 2,106 power units over the measurement period, a 7,700% increase and the highest growth rate in the dataset. - Federal Express Corporation logged 3,163 crashes over 60 months across 138,481 power units, a crashes-per-unit ratio of 0.02, the lowest among the top-10 crash-count carriers. - 25 new carrier authorities were granted on 2026-05-12 alone, all reporting 0–5 power units, consistent with the persistent entry of owner-operators and micro-carriers into the market. The most immediately apparent pattern in these leaderboards is not a safety trend or a fleet expansion story but a data integrity problem. The 'largest fleets' list is effectively a catalog of erroneous FMCSA filings: the top-ranked carrier, RELIABLE TRANSPORTERS (DOT 2950477), reports 2,099,979 power units against 2 drivers, while 13 of the top 14 entries show unit counts between 400,000 and 1.2 million paired with driver totals of 0 to 12 and authority ages of 0 years. These figures are not plausible operating fleets; they are consistent with data entry errors or test submissions that have not been corrected in the public record. Researchers and GTM professionals querying FMCSA fleet-size data should treat any carrier reporting more than a few hundred thousand units with driver counts in the single digits as a data artifact rather than an operational entity. The violation ratio list presents a different picture. Among the 25 worst-performing carriers by violations per inspection, 17 operate 5 or fewer power units, and the top carrier, FALCON UTILITY LLC of Texas, accumulated 203 violations across only 11 inspections, yielding a ratio of 18.45 violations per inspection with a 100% out-of-service rate. Six carriers in this cohort also report a 100% OOS rate, meaning every inspection over the 60-month window resulted in an out-of-service order. A subset of carriers in this list carry state codes of SO, SI, TA, and CH, indicating Mexican-domiciled carriers operating under FMCSA numbers, which may reflect cross-border inspection dynamics rather than a purely domestic compliance pattern. On the crash-count leaderboard, scale is the dominant variable. Federal Express Corporation leads with 3,163 crashes across 138,481 power units, a ratio of 0.02 crashes per unit over the period, while Western Express Inc. (3,600 units, 630 crashes) and NJ Transit Corporation (2,394 units, 472 crashes) post ratios of 0.18 and 0.20 respectively, an order of magnitude higher on a per-unit basis. This divergence is consistent with differences in operating environment, trip density, and vehicle type rather than fleet size alone. The newest-authority list shows 25 carriers receiving operating authority on 2026-05-12, nearly all with 0–2 power units. This rate of micro-carrier entry, visible across every monthly snapshot in a 60-month dataset, likely reflects the continued low barrier to DOT registration and is consistent with patterns of owner-operator market entry that have persisted for at least a decade. ### Key Statistics 18.45 Violations per inspection for FALCON UTILITY LLC, the highest ratio in the dataset Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 100% Out-of-service rate for FALCON UTILITY LLC across 11 inspections Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 6 Carriers in the top-25 violation ratio list with a 100% out-of-service rate Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 566 Total violations logged by AGROPECUARIA MALICHITA SA DE CV across 33 inspections, the highest raw violation count in the top-25 list Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 3,163 Total crashes reported by Federal Express Corporation, the most of any carrier in the dataset Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 94 Fatalities associated with Federal Express Corporation crashes Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 0.20 Crashes per power unit for NJ Transit Corporation, the highest ratio among the top-25 crash-count carriers Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 7,700% Fleet growth rate for TRANSCO LEASING CO INC, from 27 to 2,106 power units Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 27,576 Net power unit additions by VICTORY DRIVEAWAY INC, the largest absolute fleet increase in the fastest-growing list Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 25 New carrier authorities granted on a single date (2026-05-12), all with 0–5 power units As of 2026-05-12 14 Carriers in the top-25 largest-fleet list reporting more than 400,000 power units against fewer than 15 drivers, indicating probable data entry errors As of 2026-05-28 0.01 Crashes per power unit for Ryder Truck Rental Inc and Penske Truck Leasing Co LP, the lowest ratios among the top-25 crash-count carriers Trailing 60 months through 2026-05-28 Cite this data AlphaLoops.
