Burris Logistics earns prestigious 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces Award

Burris Logistics announced that it has earned the prestigious 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces Award.

The Top Workplaces recognition celebrates organizations with 150 or more team members that are building strong, people-first cultures. Out of more than 42,000 invited organizations, winners were selected based on their commitment to listening to team members and creating an environment where people can do their best work. USA TODAY showcased this year’s winners online and at the National Awards Summit in Las Vegas.

Burris Logistics just celebrated its 100th year as a proud, fifth-generation-run family-owned business. Today, Burris delivers dependable supply chain solutions and factoring services through its three companies: Honor Foods, Trinity Logistics, and Eagle Business Credit. With over 950 Team Members across 15 locations, Burris and its companies support businesses across the country through foodservice redistribution, freight management, logistics technology, and factoring.

“This recognition means a lot to us because it comes directly from our Team. Our purpose statement, ‘Improving lives and supply chains by solving tough problems’ is really the driving force of all that we do. We believe that when we take care of our people, we’re also taking care of our customers, partners, and each other,” said Donnie Burris, CEO of Burris Logistics. “I’m proud of the culture our teams have built across our companies. It’s about showing up every day, supporting each other, and continuing to grow together.”

The winners of USA TODAY’s Top Workplaces designation are determined by authentic team member feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance.

“Being named a USA TODAY Top Workplace is an honor because it speaks directly to the culture our Team Members help create every day. At Honor Foods, we are committed to building an environment where people feel valued, heard, and connected to a shared purpose. This recognition belongs to our team and the culture they make stronger through their dedication and heart,” said JD Spangler, President of Honor Foods.

When asked what makes Burris and its companies a Top Workplace, Team Members pointed to supportive leadership, opportunities for growth, and a strong set of values. They also described the culture as fun, collaborative, empowering, supportive, and positive.

"This award is an honor that truly reflects the voices of the Team Members at Trinity Logistics and those across Burris," said Sarah Ruffcorn, President of Trinity. "It speaks to the special culture we have built together- grounded in trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to improve lives and supply chains. All of us at Trinity are incredibly proud to be a part of it!"

In addition to this award, Burris Logistics has seen record scores on safety, placing its companies in the upper quartile for its industry, along with some of the lowest turnover rates in company history.

“Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture," said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. "This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition — it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market”
