Container Tracking Coming soon to Evans365
We’re thrilled to announce that container tracking is coming soon to evans365! The latest feature of the evans365 business intelligence tool is aimed at increasing transparency to customers who ship internationally. The tracker integrates with a third-party source to provide a comprehensive view of the most important container data.?
The idea for the new tool originated in Evans’ non-asset-based transportation division known as Evans Logistics Inc. (ELI). The ELI dispatch team recognized the need for tracking customer container information to anticipate arrival dates and alert our drayage drivers when a container reaches the yard. This extra step was of great importance to our customers for reducing unnecessary storage fees.??

It is with a heavy heart to announce the end of an era for Merchants Forwarding.
As we navigate through this transition, Evans extends our heartfelt gratitude to Lee Fry and Percy Ferguson, who have been instrumental in our journey.
