It's like a family. I worked there for almost 25 years because of that and I would drop everything and go back in a heartbeat if they called me and needed something. I have some people there that I think the world of that are just as important to me as if they were my brothers or sisters. Just like I said Estes is just like family. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Well I drove line haul and in line haul we worked at night. My day or night lol... usually started around 8pm and usually ended around 8 or 9am. I would run from terminal to terminal dropping and hooking until my 11 hrs of drive time was up and then take a 10hr break and get up and do it again until my 70 hrs was up and take my 34hr reset at the house. Some weeks were better than others but I really injoyed working like that.

Come in, do your job, go home, but don't expect any respect from supervisors. They have no idea the work that goes into the job. Most of the drivers have their own cliques like a bunch of high school girls.

Drive tractor, inside yard (bring breakouts for dockworkers, bring empty trailers for supervisors to load, pull out trailers (loaded trailers & empty trailer’s) there is 150 doors ) Only bad thing NO AC FOR THE HOT SUMMERS INSIDE THE TRACTORS
