Cyan Logistics is a freight broker specializing in refrigerated freight, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We’re an authorized agent of D&L Transport (MC#512099). We don’t own trucks. We find the right refrigerated carrier for your produce, protein, dairy or frozen load and stay on it until it delivers.
It means your loads move under D&L Transport’s broker authority, MC#512099. D&L Transport, founded in 2004, holds the authority. Cyan Logistics, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is an authorized agent: we work your lanes, book the carrier and stay on the load. You deal with us directly, with D&L’s authority behind the move.
You get a small, reefer-only team with an established broker behind it. D&L Transport, founded in 2004, provides the broker authority and a network of 14,000+ vetted carriers. Cyan brings the refrigerated focus: temp and appointment rules set up front, carriers checked before they haul, and someone watching the load until it delivers.
We work on claims before they happen. Before a load rolls, we check that the trailer is right for it, the unit is precooled and the set point matches the commodity. Pulp and continuous-run rules are agreed up front. In transit, we watch temperature so a drift gets worked before it turns into a rejection.
Yes. Our FSMA-aware sanitary transportation practices apply to all our refrigerated freight: produce, protein, dairy and frozen. That means sanitation-verified carriers and trailers, carrier verification, temperature requirements confirmed with the carrier before dispatch, and chain-of-custody documentation from pickup through delivery. Our carrier rules also cover safety, insurance and food-grade equipment.
Carriers are checked for safety, insurance and reefer history before they haul your freight. We won’t put your load on a Conditional-rated carrier. For produce and protein, we also look at whether the equipment and food-safety discipline fit the commodity. We draw on D&L Transport’s network of 14,000+ vetted carriers.
That’s the load we want. When your primary carrier goes quiet, we cover the freight that has to move, using carriers that pass the same checks and following the temp and appointment rules already set for your lane. Starting with one must-move lane lets us learn it before a bad week, not during one.
Someone steps in. When a unit fails or a load gets delayed, we work it directly: backup carriers, cold storage partners or a reroute, with you kept posted. For detention, appointment windows and dwell rules are agreed before a truck is assigned, and we keep watching while the load waits at the dock.
We track with GPS and reefer-status data through partners such as MacroPoint, and a person stays on it. When a ping goes stale, someone chases it. Before dispatch we confirm the trailer, the precool and the set point, so the tracking starts from a clean load. You hear about problems from us first.
Take the quick lane check. It’s 7 questions about one lane and takes about 3 minutes. It sorts your lane into Tight, Mixed or Exposed and shows which answers pushed it there, looking at backup cover, carrier rules, late pickups, temp claims and how overflow gets bought. You get a plain-English result, with no rate pitch.
Refrigerated freight only: produce, protein, dairy and frozen. From our base in Cincinnati, Ohio, we move loads for shippers across the lower 48. Reefer is all we do. We’d rather tell you where your lane could break than send you a rate sheet, so the conversation starts with how your lane really runs.
