Evans Transportation

If you only negotiate your base rate, you're negotiating the smallest part of your 2027 parcel increase.

UPS and FedEx both set their 2027 GRIs at a 5.9% average, but carriers have been moving more of their pricing into accessorials, surcharge rules and fuel tables. UPS's preview rates show most common accessorials rising 8.5% to 9.4%, and both increases land during peak, on December 21 for UPS and January 4 for FedEx.

In our latest blog, our SVP of Parcel Solutions Brian Broadhurst shares where shippers should be right now and what they can still do before the new rates hit.

Our Evans Transportation team is heading to Dallas next week for the Women In Trucking Association Accelerate! Conference & Expo.

With more than 1,000 people from across the industry expected, they’re looking forward to meeting new faces, trading ideas, and talking about what it’s like to build a career at Evans. If you’ll be there, find them and say hi. And if you’re a woman thinking about a career in transportation, they’d love to hear from you. 🚛

Jeff Shamsi and Dave Banian are back from ! Thanks to everyone who took the time to talk with them about moving cargo for government projects.

If you didn’t catch Jeff or Dave at the show, send either of them a message. They’re happy to set up a call to share more about how the Evans Experience can support your next government project. 🇺🇸

We’re heading to San Antonio! 🚛 Our team will be at the 7x24 Exchange International Fall Conference, and we’d love to connect with you.

When uptime is non-negotiable, the logistics behind your critical infrastructure matter. Whether you’re planning a data center deployment, migration, or refresh, our team is ready to talk. Stop by and say hello, or message us to set up time in advance.

Everyone expected demand to lead the next freight cycle. Capacity had other plans. 🚛

Truckload contract rates passed $3.20 a mile this quarter, diesel set a record, and the pool of qualified drivers kept shrinking. Volumes stayed soft for most of Q3. Then in August, shipments turned positive year over year for the first time in 42 months.

So now demand is finally showing up, and there are fewer trucks to meet it. Our Q3 2026 Industry Update looks at how the quarter played out in truckload, LTL, international, parcel, and cross-border freight, and what shippers should expect in Q4 and beyond.

Thanks to Ian and everyone involved for making this event such a success! ✨
