MINNESOTA AIR INC: BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota Trucking Company
MINNESOTA AIR INC is a small fleet operating out of BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota with USDOT number 3429772. The company operates 7 power units and has no published FMCSA safety rating (most active carriers are unrated unless they have undergone a compliance review). Based on our analysis of federal safety data, MINNESOTA AIR INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
MINNESOTA AIR INC has undergone 16 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 12.5%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for MINNESOTA AIR INC carries 15 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated August 25, 2026. Across 16 recorded inspections, the record carries 0 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 59/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for MINNESOTA AIR 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. 59 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
MINNESOTA AIR INC is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.
The carrier is classified as Private Property, meaning it transports its own goods incidental to its primary business, exempt from MC-number authority but still subject to safety regulations under 49 CFR Part 390.
MINNESOTA AIR INC is flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazardous materials carrier (HM indicator: Y). Hazmat carriers are subject to additional regulations under 49 CFR Subchapter C, including HM-126 reporting, HM-232 security planning, and the Hazmat Cargo Tank Annual Inspection requirement (49 CFR 180.407). Hazmat violations carry their own, higher penalty schedule, separate from the general FMCSA schedule.
Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 7 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: 500,000 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
Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Hvac Supplies And Equipment. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
MINNESOTA AIR INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Minnesota (14), Wisconsin (2). The concentration in Minnesota is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams MINNESOTA AIR INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How MINNESOTA AIR INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 16 recorded inspections, MINNESOTA AIR INC's 12.5% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 0.0% driver out-of-service rate sits materially below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
