What Verdica's 812 score means for BECKER'S TRUCKING INC
Becker's Trucking Inc has earned a composite compliance score of 812 out of 850, placing it squarely in Verdica's "excellent" band (800–850). This score reflects a provider with strong demonstrated adherence to federal trucking safety and operational standards across multiple regulatory dimensions.
A score in this range indicates that the provider has maintained good-to-excellent standing in the areas Verdica measures: licensing and insurance validity, safety inspection outcomes, and maintenance of required documentation. For a business owner or shipper evaluating carriers, a score of 812 suggests a provider with a track record of meeting or exceeding baseline compliance expectations. It does not mean the provider is incident-free—no carrier is—but rather that regulatory data shows consistent adherence to federal motor carrier safety rules.
Readers should interpret this score as a positive indicator for considering Becker's Trucking as a service provider, but also note that Verdica's data is backward-looking and reflects FMCSA records at a point in time. The score should be one input among others when making a carrier selection decision.
How the sub-scores break down
Authority & Insurance (850/850): This perfect sub-score means Becker's Trucking holds valid operating authority with the FMCSA and maintains required liability insurance coverage without known lapses or compliance gaps in this dimension. In the trucking industry, this is a table-stakes requirement; carriers cannot legally operate without it. A perfect score here indicates no red flags in regulatory filings or insurance documentation.
Safety Record (835/850): This high score reflects the provider's performance on federal safety metrics, typically derived from roadside inspections, accident history ratios, and compliance with hours-of-service and vehicle maintenance rules. A score of 835 indicates strong safety outcomes. It suggests the carrier's fleet and operations have passed regulatory scrutiny without major violations or crash indicators that would trigger elevated risk flags.
Inspection History (720/850): This sub-score is the lowest of the three, though still within the acceptable-to-strong range. Inspection history reflects the outcomes of roadside safety inspections conducted by FMCSA or state enforcement. A score of 720 may indicate that inspections have uncovered some violations—such as equipment defects, logbook discrepancies, or driver qualification file issues—but not at a frequency or severity that would be classified as high-risk. This is a common pattern; most carriers accumulate some inspection findings over time.
What regulators in WI track for trucking providers
The FMCSA and Wisconsin state transportation enforcement agencies conduct roadside inspections and maintain records on all commercial motor carriers. They issue citations for violations across several categories: vehicle maintenance and equipment failures, driver qualifications and licensing, logbook and hours-of-service violations, hazmat compliance (if applicable), and safety-sensitive documentation gaps.
Providers receive BASIC (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories) scores in areas like unsafe driving, crash indicators, hours-of-service compliance, vehicle maintenance, and hazmat handling. These scores feed into Verdica's composite calculation. A provider with repeated or serious violations in any category will see depressed scores; consistent compliance results in scores like Becker's Trucking's strong composite of 812.
Wisconsin-specific tracking includes state commercial vehicle enforcement through the Department of Transportation, which coordinates with federal FMCSA data. Carriers operating in Wisconsin are subject to both federal and state safety audits.
Bottom line
Becker's Trucking Inc presents a strong compliance profile based on current FMCSA data, with near-perfect authority and insurance standing and good safety metrics. The slightly lower inspection history score warrants a look at recent inspection reports if available, but does not indicate systemic risk. A business owner considering this carrier should verify the score reflects recent periods, confirm insurance validity independently, and request references or safety records directly from the company.
