New service center adds international capabilities to better serve shippers

The Evans Network of Companies, a market-leading trucking and logistics partner, opened a new service center in New Orleans, LA near five Class I railroads. The property is situated at 5501 B Chef Mentuer Hwy.

"Evans' in-house sales force dedicated to each agent and large nationwide network capabilities makes Evans a perfect fit for my business," said Jim McCleney, Evans agent who recently joined the network. "In 2009 we plan to grow the business and being a part of Evans will enable us to stay competitive," he continued.

"This New Orleans service center will increase our network's transportation and logistics capabilities to better serve our customers," said Bill Hohn, Senior Vice President, Sales and Business Development of Evans Network. This service center is the first Evans Delivery in Louisiana, but Evans has more than 80 throughout the US. "As one of our newest agents, we welcome Jim to the network."

Jim is a native of New Orleans and has been in the trucking industry for the past 30 years.
