At Estes, we're committed to delivering the best freight shipping experience possible for our customers. That’s why we invest in leading-edge operational technology that enhances visibility, improves efficiency, and drives more sustainable performance across our North American network. From real-time tracking to intelligent routing to paperless delivery, Estes is committed to streamlining our operations while providing transparency and reliability for the people we serve.
Samsara’s cloud-based platform gives us the real-time insights we need to manage our fleet more efficiently and safely. It also gives us the ability to track tractor location. By leveraging this technology, we’ve cut down on 15-minute idling events, improved terminal and driver safety scores, and increased ETA accuracy, giving our customers more predictable, reliable delivery experiences.
Optym’s AI-powered software helps us optimize routes, load plans, and line-haul operations to meet the evolving needs of our customers. In 2024, this technology helped improve line-haul efficiency by 2% across our vast North American terminal network.
With PEGA’s integration tools and mobile devices, we monitor shipments in real time and streamline load planning. This technology supports lower-emission routing, increases transparency across our network, and delivers more real-time freight visibility for our customers at every step.
Spireon’s tracking platform gives us real-time insight into the location and movement of our trailers and dollies. This allows us to streamline routes, reduce unnecessary mileage, cut emissions, and enhance both pickup and delivery performance.
Estes is proud to be the first LTL carrier to participate in Remora’s groundbreaking carbon capture pilot. This technology is designed to capture up to 80% of a truck’s tailpipe emissions and store the carbon for industrial reuse—turning every mile into an opportunity for impact.
Electronic Delivery Receipts (EDRs) allow Estes to reduce paper waste and give customers 24/7 digital access to proof of delivery. Now active in many of our terminals, EDRs streamline workflows and help create a cleaner, more efficient shipping process.
Together, these advanced technologies reflect Estes’ unwavering commitment to progress both for our operations and for our planet. By investing in technology that enhances freight visibility, boosts efficiency, and supports our sustainability goals, we’re not just moving freight—we’re moving the freight industry forward.
