There are only 3 terminals in MT, all recently acquired by Estes in the past couple years. Missoula, Butte and Billings, with Butte being the biggest. All are rather small terminals and are in Estes West. Pay is the same for all US terminals, except a small extra bump on breaks,, etc. in the West. Starting pay went up in January to 66.5? Max pay, after 3 years is 74.5? Something in this ballpark. Fargo is looking for extraboard, as is Minneapolis, where I'm from.cooley525 Thanks this.

I know Estes here in Charleston SC is rather small. Do you have any idea approx how many Drivers any of the terminals have up that way? 66.5 is a great starting rate as well. I haven't driven in snow tho in about 11 years now lol, but for that kind of pay, I can't say I would mind.

It ain’t the snow you gotta worry about. It’s the wind.

You will be doing a transfer. Check the Estes site for job openings. Call the terminals and get a feel. I don't think there are many bid runs. Probably more of a combo operation including loading and unloading? One bid run I know of from Billings to Fargo, run triples, meet and greet.
