Evans Distribution Systems Launches New Driver Recruiting Website


MELVINDALE, Mich. — Evans Distribution Systems transportation team is growing significantly over the past two years. Because of the growth, Evans has enhanced its driver recruiting abilities, including a new website.



Evans now has around 150 owner operators, 12 company drivers, and more than 500 trailers on the roads in metro-Detroit and Michigan. “In order to be competitive in the driving market, we need to convey a message of how much our drivers mean to us” said Todd Shattuck, transportation recruiter for Evans Distribution Systems. “We’ve developed a website to make it easy for drivers to learn more about our culture, driving benefits, and the ability to apply to join our team” said Shattuck.



The website features authentic testimonial quotes from Evans drivers, as well as video testimonials from Evans drivers. Another video on the website demonstrates what it’s like to drive for Evans as a camera followed a driver for a full day of work.



“Evans has placed a lot of emphasis on our drivers in the last two years” said Derek Byrd, marketing and inside sales manager at Evans Distribution Systems. “We have an outstanding team of drivers and are an attractive company to drive for” said Byrd. Plans to expand the website to include driver news and company updates are underway and will be launched by September.



Recently, Evans hired 26 new drivers as a part of a new contract with Fiat Chrysler. All 26 applicants used the new website (drive4evans.com) to find out about Evans, and to fill out their application.
