What Verdica's 816 score means for EYRE BUS SERVICE INC
EYRE BUS SERVICE INC has earned a composite score of 816 out of 850, placing it in the "excellent" band (800–850). This score reflects a provider with strong regulatory standing across the dimensions Verdica tracks: operational authority, insurance coverage, and safety performance as measured by federal inspection data.
A score in this range indicates that the provider meets or exceeds baseline compliance thresholds set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and maintains active, valid operating authority. For business owners and freight brokers evaluating carriers, a score above 800 suggests lower regulatory risk relative to the general trucking population. However, the score is not a guarantee of perfect operations—it reflects aggregated compliance metrics, and individual shipments or service interactions may still vary.
No independent customer reviews are currently indexed for this entity on Verdica's platform, so this assessment is based solely on regulatory data. Readers should treat this score as one input among several when making a carrier selection decision.
How the sub-scores break down
Authority & Insurance: 850 This perfect sub-score indicates that EYRE BUS SERVICE INC holds valid USDOT authority, maintains required liability insurance, and has no recorded lapses or suspensions in either category. This is a baseline compliance requirement; carriers without active authority and sufficient insurance cannot legally operate interstate commerce.
Safety Record: 845 The safety record sub-score reflects FMCSA's crash, violation, and roadside inspection data. A score of 845 is very strong and suggests a low frequency of serious safety violations, crashes, or hazardous material infractions relative to peer carriers operating similar equipment and routes. This dimension directly correlates to vehicle maintenance, driver training, and operational discipline.
Inspection History: 720 This is the lowest of the three sub-scores, though it remains in the "acceptable" range (670–739 threshold). An inspection history score of 720 indicates that the carrier has undergone FMCSA roadside safety inspections and has accrued some violations or defects, but not at a level that would elevate regulatory concern. Common inspection findings in trucking include brake defects, lighting issues, cargo securement problems, logbook violations, or driver qualification file gaps. A score of 720 suggests these issues exist but are neither pervasive nor severe enough to trigger out-of-service orders or critical interventions from regulators.
What regulators in MD track for trucking providers
The FMCSA maintains a comprehensive database of motor carrier safety performance through the BASIC (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories) system. Federal regulators inspect carriers at roadside checkpoints and conduct facility audits to measure compliance across seven BASIC categories: unsafe driving, crash indicators, hours-of-service violations, vehicle maintenance, controlled substance/alcohol use, hazardous materials handling, and driver fitness.
Individual violations are weighted based on severity. For example, brake system defects or exceeding speed limits carry more weight than documentation errors. Carriers in Maryland are subject to the same federal FMCSA standards as all U.S. motor carriers; Maryland does not operate a separate state safety rating system.
Scores improve over time as violations age out of the FMCSA database (typically after three years) and as carriers demonstrate clean operational periods. Conversely, a single serious crash or controlled substance violation can significantly depress scores.
Bottom line
EYRE BUS SERVICE INC is a provider in the "excellent" compliance band with particularly strong authority and safety metrics. The slightly lower inspection history score warrants a routine check of the carrier's most recent violations, but does not disqualify the provider from consideration. Anyone contracting with this carrier should verify current insurance certificates and confirm that USDOT authority status remains active before engagement.
