What Verdica's 813 score means for SCHROCK INC
SCHROCK INC's composite score of 813 out of 850 places the carrier in the "excellent" band (800–850), indicating strong overall compliance performance against federal trucking safety and operational standards. This score reflects aggregated safety inspection findings, insurance and authority status, and regulatory inspection history maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
A reader evaluating this carrier should interpret an 813 score as evidence that SCHROCK INC meets or exceeds baseline federal safety requirements and maintains current licensing and insurance credentials. The score does not mean the carrier is perfect—no carrier scores 850—but it does signal that regulatory violations and safety concerns, if present, fall within acceptable thresholds. This positioning makes SCHROCK INC a lower-risk option relative to carriers in elevated or high-risk bands. However, the score reflects only FMCSA data; no independent customer reviews are currently indexed for this entity, so direct shipper or freight partner feedback is not yet part of Verdica's assessment.
How the sub-scores break down
Authority & Insurance (850/850). This perfect sub-score means SCHROCK INC holds valid USDOT authority and maintains required liability and cargo insurance in full compliance with federal rules. Carriers lose points in this category for lapses in registration, cancelled authority, or insurance gaps. A score of 850 indicates no such deficiencies are flagged in FMCSA records.
Safety Record (845/850). This sub-score aggregates violations and safety incidents across the carrier's fleet and operations. It draws from FMCSA's BASIC scores (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories), which measure performance in areas like vehicle maintenance, driver conduct, hazmat handling, and crash involvement. A score of 845 indicates SCHROCK INC has few serious violations or crashes on record relative to its peer group. Minor or isolated infractions may be present but do not substantially degrade the rating.
Inspection History (710/850). This is the carrier's lowest sub-score, though still in the acceptable range. It reflects the outcomes of roadside safety inspections conducted by FMCSA officers and state highway patrol, as well as compliance reviews. A 710 suggests SCHROCK INC has experienced some inspection findings—such as equipment defects, driver hours-of-service violations, or documentation issues—but these do not rise to the level of serious safety hazards or repeated patterns. The gap between this sub-score and the others (Authority: 850, Safety: 845) warrants attention: it signals that while the carrier's fundamental safety posture and credentials are strong, executed inspections have identified compliance gaps worth monitoring.
What regulators in VA track for trucking providers
The FMCSA oversees all interstate and many intrastate trucking operations through two primary mechanisms: BASIC scores and safety inspections. BASIC scores rank carriers on seven safety dimensions: unsafe driving, fatigued driving, driver fitness, controlled substances, vehicle maintenance, cargo-related issues, and crash involvement. Each dimension receives a rating (satisfactory, acceptable, or critical), and carriers can trigger interventions if any dimension reaches critical status.
Safety inspections occur at roadside checkpoints, shipper facilities, or during carrier compliance reviews. Inspectors examine vehicle condition (brakes, lights, tires, cargo securement), driver qualifications and licenses, logbook accuracy, and hazmat compliance. Virginia state police and FMCSA officers conduct these inspections statewide. Findings generate violation codes and can result in out-of-service orders if deficiencies are severe. A carrier's inspection history therefore documents the frequency and severity of on-road enforcement actions.
Scores rise when carriers maintain clean inspection records, sustain satisfactory BASIC ratings, and resolve violations promptly. Scores fall with repeated equipment failures, driver violations, crashes, or unresolved compliance issues.
Bottom line
SCHROCK INC presents as a strong, compliant carrier with excellent credentials and safety fundamentals. The inspection history sub-score of 710, while lower than the others, does not disqualify the carrier but signals the value of reviewing specific inspection reports and violation trends before finalizing a partnership. Businesses considering this carrier should verify current insurance status and request references from existing freight partners.
