ABOUT THE AWARDEES
Evans Transportation
Delafield-based Evans Transportation is a national leader in logistics and transportation management services. Founded in 1985 in Hartland, Wisconsin, Evans was a pioneer in the industry as one of the first freight brokers in a market that today includes nearly 40,000 transportation intermediaries.
Evans' founders built an organization from the ground up, focusing on personalized customer experience and creating tools unique to their industry. In its second generation of leadership, today Evans is led by Ryan Keepman, founder, Charlie Keepman’s son. With 120 employees, Evans Transportation is a full-service, third-party provider of custom logistics solutions for North American shippers.
With a focus on customer relationships and an uncommonly dedicated team, Evans' unwavering commitment to the employee and customer experience propelled the company from a business focused primarily on transportation management with around $70 million in revenue, to one anticipating nearly $500 million in revenue in 2024.
As one of the nation's fastest growing private companies as noted in Inc. Magazine's 2020 Inc. 5000 list, Evans has been relentless in its growth over the past five years:
Evans Transportation has been named as one of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Top Workplaces in 2022 and 2023, and as the fastest-growing privately held company in southeastern Wisconsin, as part of the Future 50 given out by BizTimes Media-Milwaukee.
Evans Transportation’s impressive growth, superior service, and devotion to Team Evans and its customers, are among the many reasons they were selected for this year’s ACG Wisconsin Outstanding Corporate Growth Award.
