What Verdica's 807 score means for AGTEGRA COOPERATIVE
AGTEGRA COOPERATIVE's composite score of 807 out of 850 places it in the "excellent" band (800–850), indicating strong overall compliance performance across the dimensions Verdica measures. This score reflects aggregated data from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) inspections and safety metrics—the regulatory baseline for trucking provider accountability.
A score in this range suggests that the provider has maintained good standing on licensing and insurance, has not accumulated a concerning pattern of safety violations, and has passed a reasonable share of roadside inspections without major deficiencies. For a business owner or shipper evaluating carriers, an 807 score signals lower regulatory risk compared to the broader trucking population.
However, this score is not a guarantee of operational quality or service reliability. It reflects compliance with federal safety and administrative standards as of the data collection date. The absence of independent customer reviews in Verdica's index means you cannot yet cross-reference regulatory standing with real-world feedback about delivery speed, communication, or handling. Verdica's score should be one input in a carrier selection process, not the only one.
How the sub-scores break down
Authority & Insurance: 850
This perfect sub-score indicates that AGTEGRA COOPERATIVE holds valid operating authority from the FMCSA and maintains the required insurance coverage for its operations. In trucking, this is a baseline compliance checkpoint—without it, a carrier cannot legally operate. A score of 850 means no red flags or lapses in this dimension.
Safety Record: 815
This sub-score reflects the carrier's performance on FMCSA BASIC (Behavioral Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories) scores, which measure crash involvement, unsafe driving, and other safety-related metrics. A score of 815 is strong, indicating the carrier has not accumulated an alarming frequency of serious safety violations. That said, it is not perfect, suggesting some minor infractions or safety concerns exist in the inspection record.
Inspection History: 735
This sub-score is the lowest of the three, falling into the "acceptable" band (670–739). It reflects the outcome of FMCSA roadside inspections and the carrier's maintenance and operational compliance findings. A score in this range means the carrier has passed inspections but may have received some citations for vehicle maintenance, logbook discrepancies, or other non-critical violations. This is not unusual in the trucking industry and does not indicate systemic failure, but it does suggest room for improvement in operational discipline.
What regulators in SD track for trucking providers
The FMCSA, a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, maintains a public safety database on all commercial carriers. For South Dakota-based providers, regulators monitor:
- Operating Authority: Valid USDOT number and insurance proof.
- BASIC Scores: Aggregated safety metrics including crash rates, unsafe driving violations, hours-of-service infractions, and vehicle maintenance defects.
- Roadside Inspection Results: Citations issued during random or complaint-driven inspections, categorized by severity (e.g., critical, major, minor).
- Out-of-Service Orders: Whether a vehicle or driver has been pulled from service due to safety defects.
Scores can move up or down based on new inspection data, violation resolutions, and the age of infractions in the carrier's record. A carrier with an improving trend or with older violations may maintain a strong score despite past issues.
Bottom line
AGTEGRA COOPERATIVE scores well on regulatory compliance, with particular strength in licensing and insurance. The slightly lower inspection history sub-score warrants acknowledgment but is not a disqualifier. If you are considering this carrier, verify current capacity and service terms with the company directly, and request references from existing customers to balance the regulatory picture with operational reality.
