Cold Way Transportation LLC (USDOT 2451293)

Cold Way Transportation LLC (USDOT 2451293) carries a violation record that sets it apart from many carriers operating in the same space. Over the most recent twenty-four-month window captured in FMCSA data, the company accumulated 70 violations spanning three distinct categories: unsafe driving, hours-of-service compliance, and driver fitness. That breadth across multiple violation types reflects a record that goes beyond a single operational weakness. On maintenance violations specifically, the carrier ranks in the 41st percentile, placing it in the lower-middle tier of carriers nationally — meaning a meaningful share of fleets score worse, but a majority score better. The violation profile here, however, is driven less by mechanical upkeep and more by conduct and compliance categories: unsafe-driving citations address behavior behind the wheel, hours-of-service violations speak to scheduling and fatigue-management records, and driver-fitness entries raise questions about credentialing and qualification documentation.

The crash record associated with Cold Way Transportation LLC in FMCSA files totals seven crashes, with three injuries reported and no fatalities recorded. Half of those seven crashes occurred during nighttime hours, giving the crash record an even split between daytime and nighttime events. Seven crashes with injuries distributed across day and night conditions, alongside 70 multi-category violations on file, represents a concentrated record for a carrier of any size. Separately, FMCSA records flag the carrier as underinsured, with a $750,000 liability limit on file, alongside those seven crashes and three reported injuries.
