There is simply no excuse for having such a poor safety record. As a trucking company, Estes Express Lines’ first responsibility is to hire safe drivers and provide them with adequate training, good routes, and ample time for rest. Their failure to do so could be catastrophic for dozens of people every year.
From 2020–2021, Estes Express Lines was cited for violations that included:
- Speeding 15+ mph over the limit
- Speeding in a construction zone
- Texting while driving
- Driving while impaired by illness or fatigue
- Failure to use caution in hazardous conditions
