Lone Cypress Logistics was founded by Jason McArthur, Brian Leadingham, Nick La Fountain,  to fix a fundamental problem in the freight industry. We saw a gap between the "book-it-and-forget-it" model of transactional brokerage and the technical precision required to protect retail shelf life and supplier margins. 

​

The Pain

Shippers are winning the shelf but losing the profit to 3% OTIF fines, SQEP infractions, and erratic order swings. They have brokers moving trucks, but no one fixing the underlying infrastructure that causes the failure.

​

Our Solution

Our approach is built on a "Plan-Before-Wheels-Move" methodology. We believe that 90% of a shipment’s success is determined before a truck is ever dispatched. This philosophy of technical alignment and risk management defines our entire operation. We don’t just move freight; we engineer the account so the load succeeds.

​

Our Process

Controls, Not Claims Compliance isn't a paperwork exercise; it's a race against the clock. Every hour lost to a misaligned appointment or a rejected trailer strips shelf life from your product. Our "Zero-Defect" execution isn't a marketing slogan; it's a verifiable, multi-step process designed to protect your product and your brand.

​

This process includes mandatory cold-chain photo gates to verify set points and trailer integrity, strict compliance with airbag and loading securement, and real-time visibility. We apply deep "Receiver Nuance" to every load, understanding the distinct dock psychologies of every major retailer to prevent problems before they reach the gate.

​

Our Team
