Company origin
Burnsed is a refrigerated carrier with family-owned roots in seafood and fresh fish, now serving refrigerated shippers of every kind.
Moving seafood well demands exact timing, temperature control, and consolidation. Those same disciplines now apply to every refrigerated load Burnsed moves. The network that grew from Florida up the East Coast keeps adding lanes beyond it.
The operation today
Built around controlled movement.
Asset-based capacity, consolidation, cross-dock and yard 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 for fast transfer, 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.
