FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
JENSEN BROS INC has undergone 22 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 9.1%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 9.1%, above the national average of 5.51%. Common causes include hours-of-service violations, expired medical certificates, and CDL issues.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for JENSEN BROS INC carries 19 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated May 27, 2026. Across 22 recorded inspections, the record carries 3 driver out-of-service violations and 2 vehicle out-of-service violations.
A recorded violation is what an inspector wrote down at the roadside. It is not a penalty, and it is not an amount owed: FMCSA assesses civil penalties only after a compliance review classifies specific cited violations. The step that changes this record is the document behind each line, so the next move is to see which records an investigator would ask for and which of them exist today.
What a 83/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for JENSEN BROS INC: the safety rating, the inspection pass rate and the out-of-service rate against the national average. It is not an FMCSA score, and FMCSA does not use it to choose carriers for an investigation. 83 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Low Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
JENSEN BROS INC is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.
The carrier holds an Authorized For Hire;Exempt For Hire classification, meaning it transports cargo or passengers for compensation under FMCSA operating authority and is subject to MC-number requirements at 49 CFR Part 365.
JENSEN BROS INC is not flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazmat carrier (HM indicator: N), so the carrier is not subject to the additional 49 CFR Subchapter C hazmat regulations.
Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 14 drivers). The 100-mile boundary matters because drivers operating within a 100-air-mile radius qualify for the short-haul exception under 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1), which removes the requirement to maintain RODS for the day.
Self-reported MCS-150 annual mileage: 758,484 miles. MCS-150 mileage feeds the FMCSA SafeStat exposure denominator: drastically understated mileage can artificially inflate CSA BASIC percentile scores by reducing the per-mile exposure baseline. Updates are required every 24 months under 49 CFR 390.19.
Fleet Composition and Driver Profile
The carrier reports 14 CDL-holding drivers on file. Each CDL driver must have a current Driver Qualification File (DQF) maintained per 49 CFR 391.51, including a Medical Examiner's Certificate, an annual MVR review, and a record of road-test results.
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 3 crash events involving JENSEN BROS INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 2 involved a reported injury, and 2 resulted in a tow-away. 3 events meet the federal-recordable threshold under 49 CFR 390.5 (fatality, injury treated away from the scene, OR tow-away of any vehicle).
Most recent recorded event: E 1400 NOT REPORTED, GRANBURY, TX on December 17, 2019.
JENSEN BROS INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Kansas (3), Iowa (3), Nebraska (2). The concentration in Kansas is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams JENSEN BROS INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
