About The Evans Network of Companies
The Evans Network of Companies was founded in 1939 by Albert L. Evans, Sr. in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Originally starting as a small trucking operation with just two trucks, the company has evolved into the largest independent intermodal drayage provider in North America, alongside offering truckload, flatbed, LTL (less-than-truckload), final mile freight, and various logistics and transportation services. The network supports a wide range of transportation needs through extensive capacity and the collaboration of independent entrepreneurs with local expertise across the United States.
Today, The Evans Network operates over 750 locations nationwide with access to more than 8,000 power units and owner operators. It manages a vast transportation spending portfolio valued at over 1.6 billion dollars. The company includes multiple divisions and sister companies to cover diverse transportation and logistics functions, including intermodal, flatbed, brokerage, and van trucking markets.
The company prides itself on being a family business, upholding the values instilled by its founder. It treats partners, agents, and employees as part of the Evans family, emphasizing respect and professionalism. The network provides comprehensive administrative support for its agents, including regulatory compliance, risk management, insurance, national sales and marketing, technology, training, and development.
