About Evans Delivery Company
Evans Delivery Company is one of the oldest regional freight brokers in the Mid-Atlantic, founded in Quakertown, Pennsylvania in 1922. With over a century of operating history in the region, Evans has built a reputation for reliability across dry van truckload and LTL freight moving through Pennsylvania and the surrounding Northeast states. The company's longevity reflects its ability to maintain shipper relationships across multiple generations of business and adapt to changing freight market conditions.
The company's core strength is its deep understanding of the Mid-Atlantic freight market — particularly dense manufacturing and distribution corridors in eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and the Delaware Valley. Shippers moving goods between the major population centers of the Northeast, including Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore, find that Evans's carrier relationships in these lanes translate into consistent capacity and competitive pricing that larger national brokers sometimes cannot match at the regional level.
For shippers with regular freight volumes originating in or destined for eastern Pennsylvania and adjacent states, Evans Delivery Company offers the institutional knowledge and carrier depth that comes from over a century in the same region. The brokerage handles both FTL dry van and LTL shipments, making it a practical single-broker option for shippers whose freight mix includes both full truckloads and partial loads in the Mid-Atlantic.

FAQ
Is Evans Delivery Company licensed and bonded as a freight broker?
Yes. Evans Delivery Company, Inc. holds active combined Carrier/Broker authority under MC-57591 / DOT 38111. Bond form and amount were not verified at FMCSA L&I this session — verify current bond status at li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov before tendering brokered loads.
What types of freight does Evans Delivery Company move?
Evans Delivery's primary freight modes are dry van truckload and LTL, focused on general commodities moving through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast — within PA, NJ, NY, DE, MD, and VA. Temperature-controlled, flatbed, and heavy haul are not core offerings.
How do Evans Delivery Company's rates compare to other freight brokers?
Evans is most competitive on Mid-Atlantic and Northeast lanes where regional carrier density is highest. Outside the region, or for freight beyond dry van and LTL, larger national brokers may price better. Compare against a national broker for any significant program.
