Wisconsin's 3PL

Evans Transportation is Wisconsin’s 3PL

Any Midwesterner will tell you that family-owned companies have a certain “it factor” regarding longevity. As a leader in the supply chain industry since 1985 here in “Sconnie,” we strive to maintain that family-owned feel every day.

Being in an always-evolving industry, it’s critical to us here at Evans Transportation to stay humble as we experience rapid growth and earn multiple accolades. That must be the Wisconsin in us.

“From our humble beginnings in southeastern Wisconsin to our incredible national growth today, we’ll always call the Badger State our home.”  -Ryan Keepman, CEO, Evans Transportation

What does it mean to be Wisconsin's 3PL? 

What exactly is a “3PL”? A third-party logistics provider is a partner that manages nearly all aspects of fulfillment, inventory management, shipping coordination, and more to help companies manage their supply chain, ultimately increasing profit and efficiency. When it comes to choosing a 3PL provider to help your company’s transportation management, there are a number of things to consider, including, but not limited to:

• • Reputation
  • Customer Service
  • Customization
  • Scalability
  • Accuracy
  • Safety and Security

And what are the benefits for Wisconsin companies to use a local 3PL provider like Evans Transportation? We offer local knowledge, a long history in the state, and after all is said and done, our people are really what makes our customized logistics services technology tick.

So, how have we earned the title of Wisconsin's 3PL? 

• • Today, we serve close to 500 customers in America’s Dairyland
  • Every year, we move over 30 thousand shipments in the Badger State
  • Last year we transported nearly 500 million pounds of freight for Sconnie customers
  • And, in just the previous 12 months, Evans has picked up from about 250,000 shippers in Wisconsin

Logistics Services Offered

When it comes to transportation management in Wisconsin, Evans offers the following third-party logistics services:

• • Project Logistics: We develop turnkey solutions for every client to safely and efficiently transport project cargo of any size, including over-dimensional rail transportation, heavy haul transportation, barge transportation, crane and rigging, engineered transport drawings, and on-site project management.
  • Transportation Management: If your transportation expenses are significant and the solutions are complex, Evans is here for you with dedicated teams, and technology made simple, all leading to an optimized supply chain.
  • Less-Than-Truckload: If you are looking for a more cost-effective and flexible way to transport your freight, LTL shipping is a cost-effective, flexible way to transport smaller freight that doesn’t require a full 48- or 52-foot trailer. 
  • Full Truckload: Consistent truckload capacity is critical. We’ll make it efficient, too. Having only one pickup can make FTL less expensive, and fewer pickups always mean faster delivery time than (LTL) shipping. 
  • Parcel Optimization: Proper parcel optimization can realize significant savings opportunities, but without the right analysis software, those savings are nearly impossible to uncover. Thankfully, Evans has an exclusive, proprietary partnership that brings quick savings to light for most parcel shippers.
