About Us

We have always been & will always be a family business. When a person partners with The Evans Network, they become a part of our family. That was the belief of our founder, Albert L. Evans, Sr.  Founded in 1939 in Pottsville PA, the company has evolved into the largest Intermodal Drayage provider in the United States. As of today, expanded operations include Truckload, Flatbed, LTL/Final Mile and transportation/logistics services.
