Inspectors put the vehicle out of service in 3 of 17 vehicle inspections (17.6%), below the 19.0% for listed movers nationally. Drivers were put out of service in 4 of 28 driver inspections (14.3%, against 13.0%). With fewer than 30 vehicle inspections, a single out-of-service order moves that rate by several points, so treat it as a small sample.
