Having booked freight with Estes a couple times now, they are always very detailed oriented. Whether that be with documents, location specific nuisances, or communication. I know when booked my freight is in good hands.

I've been using ESTES for a long time to handle my CFS shipments and volume quotes, they have good rates for the volume quotes and they come through alot of the time at the cfs locations where other carrier can't pick up from there and charge waiting time, thy aren't perfect, I had them damage some freight before but for a union LTL carrier better them most of them.
