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.
