Estes wins six American Trucking Association (ATA) Safety awards 

For the 23rd consecutive year, Estes has been honored by the American Trucking Association (ATA) for its safety record across multiple categories. Estes recently won six national safety awards when competing in the ATA’s National Truck Safety Contest, which assesses driver accident rates, and the ATA’s National Industrial Safety Contest, which evaluates employee injury rates.

The awards Estes received include:

Estes Express Lines   

• 2nd place - Truck Safety Contest - LTL - Line-haul Division (Over 100 million miles)  
• 2nd place - Truck Safety Contest - LTL - Local Division (Over 100 million miles)  
• 2nd place - Industrial Safety Contest - LTL Division (Over 5,000 employees)  

Estes West  

• 1st place – Truck Safety Contest – LTL - Line-haul Division (10-100 million miles)  
• 1st place – Truck Safety Contest – LTL - Local Division (10-100 million miles)  
• 2nd place - Industrial Safety Contest - LTL Division (1,001-5,000 employees) 

"Safety is a core value that’s embedded in every facet of Estes’ operations — both on and off the road — which makes ATA’s recognition that much more special," said Vice President of Safety and Risk Management Curtis Carr. "Protecting the public, our customers, and our employees is our top priority, and Estes reinforces this by encouraging all employees to prioritize and practice safety.” 

The awards precede Driver Safety Awareness Month in July, where the company will reward and celebrate Estes’ most loyal and safest drivers with its updated Estes Million Mile Program. Estes leaders will travel to terminals throughout the country to recognize nearly 2,500 drivers who have reached the one-, two- and three-million-mile mark with Estes.
