KELBRO COMPANY INC: MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota Trucking Company
KELBRO COMPANY INC is a mid-size fleet operating out of MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota with USDOT number 730694. The company operates 29 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, KELBRO COMPANY INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 60/100, classified as Moderate Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
KELBRO COMPANY INC has undergone 11 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 18.2%, 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 KELBRO COMPANY INC carries 39 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated June 26, 2026. Across 11 recorded inspections, the record carries 1 driver out-of-service violation and 4 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 60/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for KELBRO COMPANY 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. 60 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.
Minnesota Trucking Compliance: MINNEAPOLIS Area Carriers
KELBRO COMPANY INC falls under the Midwestern Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 05). Service-center territory drives which FMCSA Investigator team would conduct a new-entrant audit or compliance review if one is triggered for this carrier.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
KELBRO COMPANY INC is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat 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.
Business organization type: Corporation.
KELBRO COMPANY 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 within 100 miles (short-haul, 29 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: 480,000 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
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 25 straight trucks, 2 tractors, 5 trailers. Owned-vs-leased equipment matters for compliance documentation, owned trailers require the carrier to retain annual inspection certificates under 49 CFR 396.17, while leased trailers shift that documentation responsibility to the lease agreement.
The carrier reports 26 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.
Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Ice. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 19 crash events involving KELBRO COMPANY INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 12 involved a reported injury, and 18 resulted in a tow-away. 19 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: COUNTY 18 BLVD, RED WING, MN on September 19, 2025.
How KELBRO COMPANY INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 11 recorded inspections, KELBRO COMPANY INC's 18.2% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 9.1% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
