SHERIDAN DRILLING INC is one of 179,736 California carriers with one power unit, and only 0.9% of those joined the FMCSA register before it did. Among 74,458 roadside inspections of California single-unit carriers, 20.4% ended in an out-of-service order, a figure that puts the carrier's own clean record of zero crashes and zero roadside inspections in contrast with the wider group. The carrier is one of 7,095 Kern County carriers with one power unit, the first of which is clearly a count of peers in its county.
