A Legacy Of Excellence, Heart And Family
In 1990, it was a dream come true for James Burnsed, who recognized that the difference between a good piece of seafood fish and a great piece of fish came down to the shipping and handling of it. Shipping fresh fish requires special care and attentiveness.
Safe fresh foods and accurate handling of seafood is paramount when it comes to expedited shipping and handling. With determination, mindfulness and hard work, Burnsed became an expert in trucking fish and shipping logistics.
He combined this knowledge with his passion for teams and together with his wife, Brenda, took this company from a small ‘mom and pop’ establishment…to a thriving operation that employs more than 65 people. Their son, James “Shannon” grew up in the industry as his dad’s right hand man and started the Express Division in 1998. Today, Burnsed Refrigerated Trucking and Express is proud to be the “#1 choice for hauling fresh fish and seafood.” Reefer Florida Florida
