    Just like any other LTL company from what I've seen on routes. Pay is mid 20's after you've been there for something like 90 days I think it is. I work with an ex Estes guy so that's what i mostly know.

    I worked for them for 4 years. It depends on where you work at to determine the pay. I did a set run plus worked a couple hours in the morning after my linehaul and I made $88,000. That was in 2004. It was the best job I ever had. I quit due to a divorce and I wasn't paying $2000 a month alimony.

    In this area, Estes city men pull 53-foot trailers on peddle runs. Now don't get me wrong, on switches and volume runs they do the job. But you're just asking for trouble dragging those things around the city.

    It may not buy happiness, but it does buy security and peace of mind.
