EVO Transportation Announces the Acquisition of West Side Transport

Transaction creates a diversified, national truckload carrier and brokerage focused on high end service to some of the nation’s largest shippers and a platform poised for growth

West Side Transport will continue to operate as its own autonomous division under Ron Joseph

EVO Transportation & Energy Services (“EVO”), a dedicated truckload carrier and top ground transportation supplier to the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) today announced the acquisition of West Side Transport, a leading Midwest based truckload carrier and brokerage with a diversified portfolio of Fortune 500 customers.

Operating through its two separate brands – EVO and West Side Transport – the combined company will continue to deliver high quality service to all of its customers while also capitalizing on opportunities to accelerate growth and leveraging its combined geographic footprint, resources and scale to further improve service offerings and capabilities. With this transaction, EVO transitions from being a predominantly USPS-focused carrier to a diversified transportation supplier with a broad customer mix, in keeping with the USPS’s supplier preferences and requirements.

From a single tractor and trailer more than 50 years ago, Don Vogt built West Side Transport into a world class operation that today includes a general commodities truckload carrier comprised of 550 trucks, 2,300 trailers and 700 employees as well as a logistics and warehousing business that
spans the Midwest and beyond. In addition to West Side’s corporate headquarters and primary operations center in Cedar Rapids, IA recently opened in 2020, the company also has terminals in Circle Pines, MN, Glenwood, IL, Indianapolis, IN, Canton, MI, Columbus, OH, and Chattanooga, TN.
