Estes Express Lines celebrates completion of its New Banning, California terminal

This past week, Estes Express Lines, the largest, privately owned freight carrier in North America, celebrated the opening of its new, state-of-the-art terminal in Banning, California. The new terminal expands Estes’ growth on the West Coast.

Some key aspects of the new terminal include:

All-electric forklifts: The terminal is one of the first in its network to use all-electric forklifts, and the new terminal will have eight electric tractors on site.

Expansive dock space: Featuring 133 doors and a three-bay shop, the terminal spans 39 acres of land, which allows for faster freight transfers.

Sustainable: With energy-efficient interior/exterior lighting throughout the terminal, the Banning location uses 85% less electricity than conventional lighting, further aligning with Estes' sustainability efforts.
