Estes Express Lines (CCJ Top 250, No. 10), among the big winners in the post-bankruptcy fundraising auction of former Yellow Corp. terminals, has kicked off the reopening of those facilities.
Estes acquired 24 terminals through Yellow's bankruptcy proceedings and added more than 130 tractors and 6,000 trailers along with thousands of other pieces of equipment like load bars, air bags, and freight tables to its fleet as part of those acquisitions.
“These acquisitions represent the single biggest influx of terminals and equipment in Estes’ recent history,” said Webb Estes, president and COO. “I applaud our team for their speed and agility, which allowed us to integrate these assets into our operations quickly and seamlessly. It exemplifies the grit, resiliency, and can-do spirit of Team Estes and how we work together to provide exceptional service to our customers.”

The terminals will add 985 doors to Estes’ network and last week the company re-opened two former Yellow terminals: Reno, NV, and Cinnaminson, NJ.
The Reno terminal has 54 doors, 18,000 square feet of dock area and 2,340 square feet of office space on a 10-acre lot off I-80. Cinnaminson terminal has 92 doors, 32,000 square feet of dock area, 6,900 square feet of office space and a seven-bay-door maintenance shop located on a 13-acre site near I-95, I-295, and US-130.
