What Verdica's 813 score means for WILSON'S TRANSPORTATION LTD
WILSON'S TRANSPORTATION LTD scores 813 out of 850—placing it in the "excellent" band (800–850). This composite score reflects compliance performance across three regulatory dimensions tracked by Canadian and U.S. authorities: operational authority and insurance status, safety record, and inspection history.
A score of 813 signals that this carrier meets or exceeds compliance expectations across the board. Readers should interpret this as a provider with strong foundational credentials and demonstrated adherence to transportation regulations. The score is based on publicly available regulatory data, not customer satisfaction or service quality; it answers the specific question: "Does this carrier maintain proper licensing, insurance, and a clean safety record according to regulatory oversight?"
The "excellent" band is the highest category. Carriers in this range typically have current licensing, valid insurance, minimal safety violations, and few or no critical inspection findings. For a business evaluating transportation providers, a score this high suggests lower regulatory risk—though it should be one of several factors in a vendor decision.
How the sub-scores break down
Authority & Insurance: 850/850
This perfect sub-score means WILSON'S TRANSPORTATION LTD holds current, valid operating authority and maintains required insurance coverage. In trucking, this is a baseline: without it, a carrier cannot legally operate. A perfect score here confirms the carrier has no lapsed licenses, no active suspensions, and no insurance lapses flagged by regulators. This is non-negotiable infrastructure.
Safety Record: 845/850
This near-perfect score reflects the carrier's performance on safety-related metrics tracked by regulators. In trucking, these typically include crash involvement, unsafe driving violations, hours-of-service compliance, and vehicle maintenance infractions. A score this high indicates very few safety violations on record. The minor deduction (5 points from perfect) suggests either a small number of minor infractions or one moderate violation, but nothing systemic or severe.
Inspection History: 710/850
This sub-score is the lowest of the three, though still in the acceptable-to-strong range. Inspection history reflects the results of roadside safety inspections and compliance audits. A score of 710 indicates some findings during inspections—perhaps minor equipment issues, documentation discrepancies, or procedural lapses—but nothing that escalated to a suspension or out-of-service order. This suggests the carrier is responsive to corrective action when issues arise.
What regulators in BC track for trucking providers
Canadian trucking providers are subject to oversight by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, U.S.-facing) and provincial regulators. Verdica aggregates FMCSA BASIC (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories) scores and inspection data to generate its composite ratings.
BASIC scores measure performance in five core areas: unsafe driving, hours-of-service violations, vehicle maintenance, driver fitness, and cargo securement. Each category is scored independently; a carrier's overall safety posture emerges from the sum of these dimensions.
Regulators conduct both roadside inspections (vehicle and driver document checks) and carrier-level audits (compliance reviews at a company's offices or facilities). During these inspections, officers document violations ranging from minor (a missing inspection sticker) to critical (faulty brakes, falsified logbooks). Accumulation of violations pushes a carrier's scores downward; compliance over time and corrective action push scores upward.
Licensing authority and insurance are binary checks: either current and valid, or not. A lapse here is an automatic disqualifier for legal operation.
Bottom line
WILSON'S TRANSPORTATION LTD presents a low-risk compliance profile based on regulatory data. The 813 score reflects strong credentials, minimal safety violations, and current legal standing. Anyone considering this carrier should still verify insurance specifics, request references, and confirm that regulatory scores align with their own safety and service requirements—but the data available suggests no red flags at the compliance level.
