FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Evans Network of Companies selects OpenTrack for end-to-end container visibility across its national drayage network

North America's largest independent intermodal drayage provider deploys OpenTrack’s battle-tested visibility platform across import, export, and domestic rail

SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, PA, April 22, 2026 -- The Evans Network of Companies, North America's largest asset-light, independent intermodal drayage provider, today announced it has deployed OpenTrack as its container visibility platform across import, export, and domestic rail operations. The move marks a significant evolution in how Evans' operations teams access and act on container data, replacing a visibility solution that had become a reference tool with a single, continuously refreshed source of operational truth spanning ocean, terminal, rail, and drayage, and giving teams the predictive ETAs and proactive exception monitoring they need to stay ahead of disruptions at national scale.

"Evans has scaled in the drayage and logistics world primarily attributable to operational excellence, trust and reputation. Management recognizes the need to overlay best in class technology, which is why we went into the market to find game changing products that have the ability to scale and grow with Evans. Evans views OpenTrack as a key solution for its future – freeing up ops to focus on problem solving and strategy as opposed to admin, while feeding customers move milestones to enable optimization of their supply chains."

From unreliable data to operational command

Evans manages complex container flows across every major mode of transport from a network of over 650 agents, with access to more than 7,500 power units. At that scale, the quality of visibility data is not a technology preference, it is an operational foundation. Accuracy, timeliness, and cross-mode consistency directly determine whether teams run ahead of exceptions or behind them.

Evans had visibility tools in place. But teams found themselves validating data from their previous visibility platform against carrier portals, terminal sites, and email threads before acting on it, a sign that the tool had become a reference rather than a system of record.

The implementation of OpenTrack is a shift from passive data aggregation to operational intelligence. OpenTrack's platform reconciles first-party data across ocean carriers, terminals, Class I railroads, and drayage into a continuously refreshed, normalized operational view, with predictive ETAs and exception alerts grounded in multi-source signals that teams can act on without cross-checking elsewhere. Visibility becomes proactive instead of reactive.

“Evans has scaled in the drayage and logistics world primarily attributable to operational excellence, trust and reputation,” said Ryan Bates, SVP of Enterprise Sales and Agency Relations at The Evans Network of Companies. “Management recognizes the need to overlay best in class technology, which is why we went into the market to find game changing products that have the ability to scale and grow with Evans. Evans views OpenTrack as a key solution for its future – freeing up ops to focus on problem solving and strategy as opposed to admin, while feeding customers move milestones to enable optimization of their supply chains.”

From fragmented data to operational truth

The selection follows a competitive evaluation in which Evans identified data accuracy, cross-mode coverage, and ETA reliability as the deciding criteria. OpenTrack's approach to reconciling first-party data directly from steamship lines, terminals, and railroads into a normalized, continuously refreshed feed was the differentiator that won the decision.

Key capabilities Evans will deploy across its operations include:

• End-to-end container visibility across ocean, terminal, rail, and drayage, with granular milestones and cross-mode normalization
• Predictive ETAs that enable earlier capacity planning, better appointment coordination, and fewer last-free-day misses
• Exception monitoring that surfaces rolled cargo, delays, and LFD risk before they become demurrage or per diem charges
• Automated reporting that keeps internal teams and customers informed without manual effort
• Performance analytics for benchmarking lane and carrier performance over time

"The Evans Network is exactly the kind of operation OpenTrack was built for," said Kevin Valsi, CEO at OpenTrack. "Their scale demands data that's always accurate, timely, and actionable across every mode. We're proud to be the platform they trust to run on."
