Company origin
Burnsed is a refrigerated carrier with family-owned roots and a specialization in seafood and fresh fish, built through decades of temperature-sensitive freight.
Moving seafood well demands exact timing, temperature control, and consolidation. That same discipline now supports a broader refrigerated platform.
The operation today
Built around controlled movement.
Asset-based capacity, refrigerated consolidation, cross-dock infrastructure, and direct communication operate as one system.

Operating principles
Control the details that control the load.
- 01
Plan before loading
Commodity, temperature, appointments, routing, and available capacity are resolved before freight enters the operating plan.
- 02
Keep transfers controlled
Freight is identified, staged cold, and moved into its outbound plan with limited dwell.
- 03
Keep communication useful
Shippers receive direct answers from the people responsible for dispatch, capacity, and delivery coordination.
