Estes Express Lines was founded in 1931 by W.W. Estes with a single truck in Chase City, Virginia. Through generations of family ownership it grew into the largest privately held less-than-truckload carrier in the United States, headquartered today in Richmond, Virginia.
Estes runs a national LTL network and also offers truckload, time-critical and logistics services. Its scale and independent ownership make it a widely used, dependable option across the country.
