Jason Burns is a native of New Orleans and a passionate business leader in the final mile transportation industry. He is a 2006 graduate of Vanderbilt University where he was a SEC Academic Honor Roll student-athlete in football and selected as the recipient of the Head Coach’s Dedication Award.
After beginning his professional career in the parking industry, Jason returned to his hometown to assume a leadership role in his family’s business enterprises, including Burns Management Group (BMG), Global Parking Systems (GPS), and QCS Logistics (formerly Quick Courier Services, Inc). As a second-generation owner and President of QCS, Mr. Burns led the company’s resurgence by developing new service offerings, implementing a new technology platform, and expanding operations into new markets. These initiatives resulted in record growth and QCS was selected to the Inc. 5000 list as one of America’s fastest growing companies for four consecutive years. QCS was also recognized as a Top 100 Icon of Industry by ICIC (Initiative for a Competitive Inner City) in 2014. In 2020, QCS was acquired by Dropoff Inc, a national same-day delivery company headquartered in Austin, Tx. with operations in over 25 states. In this new role, he served as Dropoff’s Director of Corporate Development, leading the company's M&A efforts. In 2022, Dropoff was ranked #2,607 on the annual Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. He recently transitioned into the commercial insurance industry joining CUI Agency, focusing on bringing transportation literacy to owners who are challenged with finding solutions to the increasing cost of insurance.
In 2022, Jason was elected as the first African-American President of the Customized Logistics and Delivery Association (CLDA), the nation's leading association for the final mile delivery industry since 1987. He now serves as the Immediate Past President. When he's not on the clock, you can find Jason spending time with his pride and joy; 10-year-old twins Jason Jr. (JJ) and Jordyn (JoJo). He coaches their flag football teams and is one of the loudest dads cheering from the sidelines.
