🛡️ Why Cyan Logistics

MOST BROKERS LOOK IDENTICAL.
WE’RE BUILT DIFFERENT.

Any broker can promise a truck. We deliver a process — built from the ground up for refrigerated freight — that protects your product, your margins, and your reputation. This is how we deliver peace of mind.

Our Process
FROM TENDER TO DELIVERY —
EVERY STEP PROTECTED

Most brokers stop at “truck dispatched.” Our process covers every critical touchpoint between your dock and your customer’s receiver.

1

Load Tendered

You submit your shipment details. We confirm commodity type, temperature requirements, pickup/delivery windows, and any special handling instructions.

2

Carrier Matching & Vetting

We match your load to a pre-vetted refrigerated carrier from our network. Every truck is screened for safety scores, reefer maintenance history, insurance, and on-time performance.

3

Pre-Dispatch Verification

Before your product loads, we verify the reefer unit is functioning correctly, confirm pre-cool temperature, and ensure the trailer meets food-grade sanitation standards.

4

Live Load Monitoring

Once rolling, our ops team monitors temperature, location, and ETA in real time. If anything deviates from plan, we intervene immediately — not after the damage is done.

5

Proactive Communication

You get updates before you ask for them. ETA changes, weather delays, or potential issues — you hear about it with a plan attached, not a surprise email.

6

Delivery & Documentation

Load delivered on time, at temp, with complete documentation including temperature logs. If there’s ever an issue, we own it and fix it — fast.

💡

The Difference?

Most brokers skip steps 3, 4, and 5. That’s where claims happen, relationships break, and margins disappear. We never skip them.

Carrier Vetting
NOT EVERY TRUCK EARNS
A SPOT IN OUR NETWORK

We reject more carriers than we approve. Every truck that touches your freight has been screened across three critical dimensions.

🚛

FOOD-GRADE TRAILERS

We don’t use general freight trucks for perishable loads.

  • Sanitized and inspected trailers
  • No cross-contamination risk
  • Proper drainage and airflow
  • Load-specific configuration
❄️

REEFER EXPERTISE

Our carriers specialize in temperature-controlled freight.

  • Proven reefer maintenance records
  • Pre-cool verification capability
  • Real-time monitoring hardware
  • Commodity-specific experience
🛡️

INSURANCE & COMPLIANCE

Full coverage and regulatory compliance — no exceptions.

  • Minimum $100K cargo insurance
  • FMCSA authority verified
  • Safety score screening
  • FSMA compliance awareness
Monitoring & Visibility
YOU’LL NEVER WONDER
WHERE YOUR FREIGHT IS

Real-time visibility isn’t a feature we upsell. It’s built into every load we move.

TRACKING METHODS

📡
GPS Location Tracking

📦
Delivery Confirmation

POD, temp logs, and delivery status — closed loop on every shipment.

Claims Prevention
WE DON’T MANAGE CLAIMS.
WE PREVENT THEM.

Claims cost food shippers millions every year. Most brokers react after the fact. We’ve built our entire operation around stopping them before they start.

01

Pre-Dispatch Temperature Verification

We confirm the reefer is at the correct setpoint before your product loads. No assumptions, no “it should be fine” — verified every time.

02

Carrier History Screening

We analyze each carrier’s claims history, temperature compliance track record, and on-time performance before they touch your freight.

03

Real-Time Intervention

If our monitoring system detects a temp deviation, ETA risk, or mechanical issue, our ops team acts within minutes — not hours.

04

Contingency Protocols

Backup carriers, pre-positioned capacity, cold storage partnerships, and rerouting plans. If something breaks, we have Plan B ready to go.

📊

The Result?

A claims ratio below 0.5% on temperature-related incidents. That’s not a target — it’s our track record. And it’s what delivering peace of mind looks like in practice.
