WHAT PACKARD AGENTS ARE SAYING
Loyalty runs deep at Packard & The Evans Network
Our Agents stay because they trust the support, freedom & success our model delivers.
The best part about Packard Transport & Evans, is the back-office support. Anything I need is phone call or email away. Whether it be a question about electronic logs, hauling a certain type of material, finding another agent for assistance on a load—the resources here are endless. The settlements team at Packard is second to none. My driver's weekly settlements are on point & if there is ever an issue, it is swiftly remedied.

When I first joined Packard, I had just one truck & a lot of ambition. Over time, with their support & resources, I was able to expand into brokering & eventually grow to 10 trucks, generating more than $7 million in annual revenue. What makes Packard different is the culture. It truly feels like a family here, yet we have the stability & resources of a multi-billion-dollar company behind us. The leadership team is always approachable & I can pick up the phone & speak directly with the people who make decisions. That kind of accessibility is rare in this industry. Packard’s support allows me to focus on running & growing my business instead of worrying about the financial side. The Agent Meetings are another highlight, because they are a chance to connect, share ideas & feel genuinely appreciated for the work we do. Packard helped me grow from one truck to ten, with over $7 million in annual revenue. They combine a true family atmosphere with the strength & resources of a multi-billion-dollar company & they genuinely value the people who work with them.

Agents celebrate 10+ Years with The Evans Network at the 2025 Agent Meeting in Austin
Our annual Agent Meeting is designed to inspire, connect and empower our Agents through engaging discussions, industry insights and unforgettable experiences.
The Evans Network is comprised of Agent Entrepreneurs and Independent Contractors
Operating under our motor carrier authority, agents deliver customized solutions to meet their customers' specific needs. Most align with one of two core agent-models below, though some blend elements of both.
Capacity Agents
Agents manage dedicated drivers & leased owner operators, giving them direct access to capacity to move freight. They maintain established shipper relationships & provide customized solutions for container drayage, full truckload (dry van, open
deck, refrigerated) and more.
Brokerage Agents
Brokerage Agents act as intermediaries – they maintain established shipper relationships by connecting them with reliable carrier capacity to move freight. They offer tailored solutions for container drayage, full truckload and other services to meet the diverse needs of their customers.
