This carrier's phone is shared with 1 other carrier — the same officer/phone/address running under multiple authorities is the strongest double-brokering tell. One carrier sharing this phone has been revoked or is out-of-service — the dispatch-shell (call-center) pattern cargo-theft rings use.
A truck VIN on this carrier was run under 3 different DOTs in overlapping windows — the cloned-truck / VIN-under-multiple-MCs pattern.
This carrier's contact domain (mveltl.com) was registered 2024-08-28, long after its operating authority — a freshly-stood-up domain on an older MC is a reactivated-shell signal.
