Trinity Logistics

What Trinity Logistics does

Trinity Logistics is a US-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider founded in 1979 and headquartered in Seaford, Delaware, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Burris Logistics. The company arranges freight across truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), intermodal, drayage, expedited, warehousing, and international/cross-border modes, processing approximately 1,627 shipments per day and over 30,000 loads per month across its carrier network, which collectively travel 426M+ miles annually. Trinity serves enterprise and mid-market shippers in three primary verticals — Food & Beverage (including cold chain and seafood), Chemical & Hazardous Materials, and Construction & Manufacturing — and is a Responsible Care Partner since 2009, a C-TPAT certified cross-border provider, and an EPA SmartWay partner.

The company's technology stack is anchored by a proprietary Customer Portal (for shipper self-service quoting, tracking, invoicing, and LTL rate quotes), a Carrier Portal with integrated Load Board, and a configurable Managed Transportation TMS supporting order entry, tracking/notifications, freight audit and payment, claims management, rating/tendering/routing guide, and system integrations with enterprise ERPs (Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Navision, Sage/MAS, Infor/Syteline, AS400, Famous Software) and visibility platforms (FourKites, Project44, MacroPoint, TruckerTools, TruckerTools). A Verify Load Tool mitigates double-brokering fraud for carriers, and AI-driven analytics are embedded in the TMS for supply chain optimization alongside rule-based automation for auto-approval of matching invoices and auto-rating/tendering.

Trinity generates revenue primarily through freight brokerage transaction fees on shipments arranged across its carrier network, supplemented by managed transportation service fees (SaaS+ TMS, Managed TMS, and Integrated Outsource tiers priced on weekly shipment volume) and an indirect channel via a 163-agent Freight Agent Network that has operated since 1980, with agents paid weekly commissions. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers and quarterly business reviews, direct phone/online quoting, self-serve digital portals for mid-market, and carrier direct engagement via the Carrier Portal. Distribution is supported by eight Regional Service Centers (DE, AZ, FL, IA, MN x2, MO, TX). Trinity has appeared on the Transport Topics Top 100 Freight Brokerage List for 24 consecutive years, ranks in the top 20-25 US freight brokerages, and earned an EcoVadis Gold sustainability rating in January 2026 (top 5% worldwide).
