Estes regional OTR

I got a buddy who runs Extraboard out of 045. (Jacksonville FL) He turns over 3k Miles a week every week. I worked for them for 4 years. If you can ignore all the bs that comes with their lack of organization then you will make really good money. Running extraboard is the only way I’d ever consider going back to them. They are good about the home time.

 

Must've been terminal politics. I barely see anyone at my terminal and mostly only talk to Central dispatch. I have no issues out of 135. I personally don't like any of the East coast terminals. I tend to stay away from East coast.

 

yea I’m sure you’re right about that. I have heard guys who transferred from other regions say it didn’t even feel like the same company. The southeast region still runs on the good ole boy system hah. Is Clinton still in central dispatch? He was awesome

 

Yea I hear from him every now and again. He's cool. He'll feed you miles all day.

 

Let be sure I got this Estes drivers, I’m looking to go to Smyrna (Nashville) on extra board, my buddy works out of Denver and dosent run any place with bunk houses so he didn’t know and no one he works with have even heard about bunk houses being used now. They do have some bunk house (I don’t like that idea at all) but you don’t have to stay at them and can go to a hotel no issues at all? 18 years in and out of sleepers I’d rather just stay at the hotel, that’s one big draw for me to the job.

 

I told you in another thread. You will be in hotels

 

sorry, I saw the dates on the other thread I posted in and worried it would not be relevant or responded to, thank you for both replies!

What's with the bad reviews in these sites? Is Estes still worth applying for?

 

Estes is a good job. The people most likely to review a trucking company on Glassdoor or Indeed are the ones who feel like they've been screwed. I work for a company that's widely considered one of the best to work for and I was similarly surprised at our bad reviews also. You can't please everyone.

 

Do all Estes terminals have Regional OTR drivers?.
