DC Velocity - Burris 2020

We are family

NEVER BEFORE HAS OUR COMPANY SLOGAN, “ONE PARTNER, Many Solutions,” meant as much as it does in 2020. We have been on this journey for 95 years as a family-owned business, and I am pleased to say that we have assembled a complete suite of brands and solutions for shippers and retailers.

We can tell our story from several starting points, but they all end in one place: Burris Logistics’ commitment to your needs and our industry. “How” we do business is at the core of our foundation and always will be.

With every truckload, we deliver deep-rooted values, exceptional service, and a history of creating long-lasting relationships. Our customers and team members are family to us—this is reflected in team longevity and incredible expertise. We are pleased to partner with DC VELOCITY to create this special edition publication. We know “how” we conduct business will remain core to our operations. Through the voices of our peers and industry thought leaders, we believe it’s time to explain the full scope of “what” the Burris Logistics’ brands can do to solve your supply chain needs.

In 2019, Burris Logistics acquired freight transportation company Trinity Logistics. With this acquisition, we effectively increased our freight management capabilities tenfold, while welcoming a family business with similar values to our own. As a widely recognized brand in the industry, Trinity also brought a colorful culture to our business environment. Our goal of providing a complete solution for shippers and retailers is now fully recognized by the addition of the Trinity brand.

Trinity now joins PRW Plus, Custom, and Honor Foods, providing freight management capabilities to the partners who distribute, store, and fulfill through us. PRW Plus continues to be a scalable temperature-controlled storage solution. With direct-to-consumer programs we operate out of our warehouses, we collaborate with a variety of e-commerce partners, providing reliable service and delivery to the customer’s doorstep. Our Custom division still exemplifies a true partnership model. Through customized distribution, procurement, and warehousing, we adapt to complex needs and overcome logistical challenges. Honor Foods remains the critical link in foodservice redistribution. In the year ahead, our already substantial warehousing capabilities will grow—both in scale and reach—ensuring that schools, restaurants, and hospitals remain well-serviced with flexible minimums and responsive delivery.

We call this unity of Burris Logistics brands “OneBurris”; what once began as an internal cultural model is now how our businesses operate daily. While we have four distinct brands, our customers know that we have a multitude of solutions that can be adapted to serve their unique needs.
