The fleet estimate is curated by HaulGrade where the federal figure is not reliable, so it is not an FMCSA number. Reported drivers is the total the company filed with FMCSA and it is not a CDL only count. Years on file counts from the date operating authority was added, not from the year the company was founded.

- Tow away, 221
A crash count records involvement over the period. It is not a finding of fault, and a larger fleet drives more miles, so raw totals cannot rank companies.
