not a driver
FPK Security Officer (Former Employee) – Sparks, NV – October 15, 2018
Not a driver, I worked security. according to drivers I knew, this was an excellent company to work for. Because you need 150 words, I'll just keep on babbling
Pros
Drivers seemed happy with job
Cons
New drivers felt they were underpaid
Use to be a good place to work

Unfortunately the mission use to be to service the customers but now it has become all about the numbers. Management has lost sight of the big picture and now want to sale gimmicks
Pros

Poor help from immediate supervisors and corporate locations. Average service capabilities

Estes is a decent LTL company. Better than most.
LTL Driver (Current Employee) – Columbia, MO – October 7, 2018
Working nights beginning at approx. 8 pm through to 10 to 11am.
How to manage time and resources quite well.
Self started is a must!
Favorable management.
Great employees overall.
Competitive atmosphere at times.
The hardest part of the job is being gone a full week from home.
The most enjoyable part is knowing you are doing a job some would not, or could not do.
All LTL companies are Federally regulated. Regulations must be followed. Any mistake or lack of following through can result in fines and CSA points on your license, or worse. Much worse. An accident, regardless of fault, can result in property damage, loss of life and the list goes on.
Making sure your equipment is safe and secure for transport has to be your first priority.
A great deal is expected of any Transport Driver. As it should be. The trick, I believe, is to remind yourself of the responsibility accompanying the occupation. Every day. Every hour. Every second if need be.

CLERK I (Current Employee) – Columbia, MO – October 7, 2018
A typical day involved assisting customers with questions and providing quotes for shipments. Management is very relaxed and encourages the team members to perform at their highest.
A family Environment
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Salt Lake City, UT – October 5, 2018
Estes Express was my first job. My coworkers were friendly and helpful. The Terminal Manager is funny,caring, sweet, understanding, and willing to help. It is fast paced and constantly busy. There might be coworker issues but in the end they have your back.
Love my job, management is what is driving me away.
Dispatch Supervisor/CSR (Current Employee) – Richmond, VA – October 4, 2018
I have been very loyal to my employer, but I do not feel that I am moving up the ladder like I should be. The management is terrible and this is what is driving me away.
Pros
Great benefits, paid time off, 401K.
Cons
Communication, no structure, bad management
Very good experience
Hub Driver (Former Employee) – Roanoke, VA – October 4, 2018
Good job good people had very little to complain about.sometimes the equipment was not up to standards but was well maintained.terminal manager always had an open door and i liked that
Pros
Money and benefits
Cons
Equipment sometimes
Great place to get a ton of hours
Dock Worker/Forklift Driver (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – October 3, 2018
Didn't like not having a set clock out time. Made it hard to have a life and a family. Overtime does not start until you reach 55 plus hours. They ensure you go home at 54.
Buen ambiente laboral, excelente relaciones con compañeros muy profesionales
Agente de cobranzas (Former Employee) – Richmond, Virginia – September 28, 2018
Buena experiencia laboral en general. Creo que la Gerencia podrÃa gestionar mejor los procesos.
Pros
Estabilidad laboral
Cons
Gerencia manejada a nivel familiar
I love it here.
Linehaul driver (Current Employee) – Fontana, CA – September 27, 2018
Working the extra board can be a bit challenging sometimes. You go to work, get your load assignment, in leave. They tell you to plan on being out 4 to 5 days at a time. Usually I get home once or twice a week and then on the weekends. Really good money, and the benefits are really good as well.
Pros
Hi pay, good benefits, fun people to work
Cons
Sometimes dispatch has a hard time getting you home on your days. But it's rare.
excellent environment

Terminal Clerk II /OS&D (Current Employee) – Atlanta, GA – September 21, 2018
It's a good place to work but management is not 100 %. The company overall is good but it needs better people with leadership skills. I look my job and the incentives.
Pros
Pay
Cons
Management
Hard work
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) – Poinciana, FL – September 20, 2018
I worked for estees as a sub contractor, that is the reason why I didn't get any raise or vacation pay. I like the hard work it's quick and the hours are a lot. Being subcontractor we get the loads and task company wants to pay less for which at times are very hard. The company is good just the contract I had was not worth the money and time and gas
Pros
Drive around different areas
Cons
Too many hours not enough pay for the hours
