About Us
A better middle path for industrial transport
Founded on a simple observation: too many industrial businesses were forced to choose between a cheap multi-drop courier who did not understand the load, and a heavy haulage option that was oversized, slow to arrange or impersonal.
The founding story
There had to be a better middle path — a dedicated industrial transport service that treated engineering equipment, pumps, panels and critical spares with the seriousness they deserve. Not parcels. Not house moves. Not a race to the bottom on price. Just dependable, professional B2B transport with clear communication and a driver who knows the job is important.
Based in Gloucestershire, between Bristol, Gloucester and the M5, we started as a single owner-driver operation with one long wheelbase panel van and a clear standard: if we take the job, we own the outcome. That standard still defines us. As we grow, it will not be diluted.
The Cedar Ridge difference
The Cedar Ridge difference is dedication. Your consignment does not compete with a van full of unrelated drops. We plan the journey around your collection and delivery windows, your site access rules and your stakeholders.
We also differ in tone and presentation. Industrial sites, stores and reception teams deal with us as a professional extension of your business. We show up prepared, we communicate in plain English, and we do not leave you guessing.

Dan Johnson
Founder & Owner-Driver
Cedar Ridge Logistics was founded by Dan Johnson. Rather than years spent behind the wheel, the business draws on something arguably more valuable to industrial customers: years of leading complex service delivery, solving operational problems and building trusted relationships where reliability was never optional.
That background shapes how Cedar Ridge operates. Every job is treated as a commitment, not a transaction. Quotes are honest, communication is proactive, and the person who takes your booking is the person accountable for getting it right.
“I did not want to build just another courier. I wanted a transport partner that engineering and industrial businesses could genuinely rely on — where professional standards, care and honest communication come as standard. That is the business I am building, one dependable delivery at a time.”
Accreditations & standards
We maintain appropriate goods-in-transit insurance and operate to professional standards expected of a B2B industrial transport partner.
As the business scales, we will pursue sector-relevant memberships and accreditations where they unlock customer trust and access — including, over time, frameworks relevant to rail and other regulated environments. Current details of insurance cover, vehicle specification and any memberships are available on request.
