Hi Trans Action, How did it go with Walia?

Yikes, 18Million miles on 11 power units. Thats over 1.5 million miles per unit in a year.
I wouldn't trust them if they are lying to the FMCSA.

I used Walia on a relocation project earlier this year.
They did a great job considering the amount of work required.

I would need to investigate further their FMCSA before doing future business with them.

Is their a particular reason or benefit why someone would overstate mileage on their MCS-150?

i think quicker depreciation of power units on paper

Not related. CRA will only allow a certain amount of depreciation.

There are three reasons why I would think that someone would post the wrong number:

1. Plain and simple - a mistake. You should double check before posting as this should have triggered audits.
2. SMS and CVOR scores are rated based on number of power units and vehicle mileage. More mileage will favourably affect their scores. For SMS see https://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/Documents/SMSMethodology.pdf
3. They did that many miles but most of their fleet was Canada based and did not travel to the US.

I thought in reason #3. They did an intra-Canada shipment for us. Service is on point.
