“Working with Cedar has been exceptional. His contract proposal was clear, well thought out, and reasonably priced, making it an easy decision to partner with his business. By taking on our food delivery needs with professionalism and consistency, he’s saved us from the significant cost and administrative footwork of managing our own delivery vehicle and staff. Cedar has been a dependable, solutions-focused asset to our operations. I would gladly recommend his services to others seeking a reliable logistics partner.”

"Cedar, Richard and Harvest did an incredible job of weed clearing on our property. They were punctual, thorough and completed the work in all areas specified for an extremely fair price. They even responded to our urgent request to have the work completed prior to the arrival of our out-of-town guests. I would highly recommend Cedar Renewable Services for tree and yard-scaping."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you deliver immediately?
If you need immediate service, call (530)264-4004. We aim to provide a delivery option within 24 hours of inquiry. At times, we have prior scheduled deliveries to work around. As of July 2025, we have availability for new routes.
How much does electrified delivery cost?
We save over 28% on mileage costs compared to the national standard rate for petroleum vehicles. Petroleum prices continue to rise while charging costs are cut through incentives. Additionally, we share our savings with our customers wherever we can, for example, 30% less maintenance than petroleum vehicles and large purchase price discounts.
How far can you deliver?
The Chevrolet Brightdrop 600 EV Van has a comfortable range of 270 miles. We are based 60 miles north of Sacramento in Grass Valley. With availability of public charging stations along I-5 and other major CA highways, most of the state is accessible.
Can I choose the timeframe for my delivery?
Yes. Unlike conventional freight companies, we plan delivery times down to the hour, and sometimes down to the minute! For non-rush deliveries, we can provide a menu of delivery times for you to select.
How much cargo space? How much weight?
The van can carry 2,200lb of cargo within over 500 cubic feet.
The cargo area is:
- 13′ 7″ long
- 6′ 11″ wide
- 6′ tall
- 4′ 6″ width between wheel wells
- 8′ length in front of wheel wells
- 1′ 10″ length behind driver’s side wheel well

Are you insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and commercial delivery insurance. Contact us if additional cargo insurance is needed.
Can you deliver refrigerated, fragile, and specialty goods? Food? Hazardous material?
We deliver most types of fragile and specialty goods. Contact us regarding refrigerated goods and food. As of 2025 we cannot transport hazardous materials.
Can you do reoccurring deliveries?
Yes. Most of our current deliveries are reoccurring.
Why go electric?
Electric delivery is less expensive, better for the environment, and compliant with growing CA trucking emissions regulations that are continuously increasing petroleum transport rates. Transportation is the number one source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US (DOE).
As CARB reports, “Through a combination of lower fuel costs, decreased maintenance expenses, and revenue from California’s LCFS program, ZEVs achieve lower operational costs versus their combustion counterparts.”
How much renewable energy (electricity) do you use?
The most recent Power Content Label from our current utility PG&E shows 32.8% renewable, 13.8% large hydro, and 53.4% nuclear, totaling 100% clean energy. The goal for 2026 is to include a charging station that sources power from Pioneer Community Energy with their Green 100 option, allowing 100% renewable energy charging.
What types of clients do you serve?
Historically, our most common delivery is reoccurring commercial goods transport 5 days per week for our local healthfood supermarket. We welcome clients from diverse backgrounds with diverse needs including residential, commercial, event, TLT freight, and more.
What vehicle do you use?
We are very happy with our new 2025 Chevrolet Brightdrop 600 with full upgrades including the extended range option.
