Meet Team Estes
When I’m away from home, Estes is my family.— Ben B., P&D Driver
It’s been a perfect 19 years, and I’m ready for another 19.— Carlos D., Line-haul Driver
Working for Estes has given me the opportunity to meet some of the best people of my life.— James S., Line-haul Driver
I like being on the road without anyone looking over my shoulder or being surrounded by four walls all day long. I’ve been with Estes for 28 years and really enjoy the company and what I do. The best part is, with my daytime schedule and dedicated route, I’m home every night.— Byron K., Line-haul Driver
Working at Estes has been a great opportunity, and it’s a great company to work for.— Jeff J., Dockworker
The Estes Difference
Teamwork is our way of life at Estes. We’re still family-owned after 90 years in business, and our family-inspired culture drives the way we work.
And it shows. That's because when you’re part of America’s largest privately-owned carrier, 22,000 teammates are looking out for you. We work together to overcome challenges with courage, grit, and determination. It’s what we call being Estes Strong.
History of Safety
Estes’ culture revolves around safety. In fact, protecting our teammates, customers, and the public is both our mission and our duty. We start by hiring drivers with top-notch driving skills — and we continually recognize their performance and provide ongoing training. We also invest in the latest safety technology for our trucks, such as roll-stability and collision-avoidance systems. The result is that Estes has one of the best safety records in the industry.
