Berkshire Refrigerated Warehousing LLC (USDOT 1454732)

Berkshire Refrigerated Warehousing LLC, operating under USDOT number 1454732, carries a federal safety record that draws attention across multiple dimensions — crash frequency, violation history, insurance standing, and coverage continuity — all drawn from public FMCSA data.

On the crash side, FMCSA records show three total crashes involving this carrier, with one injury and no fatalities reported. What gives the crash profile particular character is the day-night distribution: approximately two-thirds of those crashes — a share consistent with a night-heavy operational pattern — occurred during nighttime hours, placing this carrier among those whose incidents concentrate outside daylight conditions. For a three-crash record, that concentration is notable in raw proportion terms.

The violation record compounds the picture. Over the most recent 24-month window on file, FMCSA records document 12 violations spanning two categories: maintenance and hours-of-service. The maintenance violation rate ranks this carrier in the 90th percentile nationally, meaning it scores worse than the large majority of carriers subject to the same federal benchmarking. Carriers at that rank are placed among the worst-performing for maintenance compliance under FMCSA's safety measurement system. The hours-of-service violations add a second regulatory dimension to the compliance record, showing that the 12-violation total is not confined to a single area of federal safety standards.

Separately, the record shows that FMCSA flags Berkshire Refrigerated Warehousing LLC as underinsured, with a liability limit of $750,000 on file — alongside the three crashes, one injury, and the broader compliance record described above. The insurance history also reflects at least one coverage gap, with the longest lapse period extending 87 days according to FMCSA records. That gap figure represents a substantial period during which continuous coverage was not maintained as reflected in federal filings.

Taken as a whole, the FMCSA record for USDOT 1454732 combines a night-concentrated crash history, a 90th-percentile maintenance violation ranking, dual violation categories, an underinsured flag, and a documented coverage lapse — each independently sourced from public federal records.
