Estes | Joliet terminal plan currently on hold

Heard from a reliable source that the Joliet terminal is on hold until further notice.

Apparently there are some zoning conflicts so 028 will remain the mess that it is.

Maybe they're waiting on Holland to default so we can take their terminal across the street.
You guys already own most of Holland barn's ,so just evict them & break the lease , it happens all time !!!
 
For us road drivers Markham will be better in my opinion. Oswego was never easy to get to. Markham seems more on a main road. I feel bad for the people that it makes their comute worse.

I guess this i why they quit on Joliet , found a used terminal that is more cost effective.

Are they going into the old Jevic terminal in markham, just north of I-80 by the cash box at 294? At Kedzie ave.
 
WOW I was in Chicago this week what a difference! The yard was empty it was so nice to not be on top of every one there. The down fall was it took 14 hours to get out. Markham was nice to big yard even bigger dock. Weird office two trailers.
Does anyone know if they staffed it from Oswego McCook or both?

I heard through the grapevine that Markham is only going to be a temporary lease as in 2-3 years as the plans in Joliet are underway, permits are approved, zoning etc., and they should be breaking ground soon.

Apparently the location is right near the Amazon warehouse off of 80 and route 30 and is located on a forty acre plot of land.
 
yeah...learned about the GR move today! Show up at OLD location....uh...for sale/lease?!?!?!! Call central and type in term number....ok instead of exit 75 off of 131 it's 79 and RIGHT NEXT to 131! haha actually looks like a new building, smells new too...unless some Marines came in and cleaned it. Now Joilet yard isn't all that bad....staying here tonight...funny how I use to pick up all the time across from 171 next to the fed ex term on joilet rd. Yeah...place is tight....but we'll see how it is when I leave tonight! ahha

It's Holland's old terminal
 
Has there been any update about this terminal opening? To me it seems weird that no one really knows what's going to happen or when it's going to happen. As a Markham driver it'd be nice to know what my future is going to look like in the coming months. All anyone seems to have is opinions and rumors they've heard throughout the system.

They sent a email out from "the express lines"
A couple months back. Joilet opens in May.
