About Ed Burns
Ed Burns loves to connect people. It’s amazing what can happen when good people come together. He asks big questions in the hope of finding big answers. He started his first real business at 20, a marketing agency which he sold after running for seven years. He grew up around the freight world and is fascinated by big trucks. He joined the family business in 2020 while the world was ending, and is committed to making transportation a better place for both shippers and carriers. For fun, he builds sandcastles. They are a wonderful analogy for what it takes to build businesses: time, effort, caring, and willingness to let go. He is a husband and father and believes that kids hold the key to happiness because they see everything with a sense of wonder.
