Saw a notice on the BB at Nashville that Estes
"expects to be very busy in the near future and we will be hiring dockworkers, drivers, office personnel, etc. If you know anyone who would be interested in working at Estes please have them apply."
Also, the "NOW HIRING DRIVERS" is up for the first time in about 3-4 years!
Could the rumour that YRC will be shutting down next Friday and idiling 10,000 be true? I don't know, but Estes all over is gearing up for something as, while others are laying off and forcing workers to take pay cuts, we are hiring. Something's up that's for sure and the fact that that freight has picked up tremendously recently to where they are begging for volunteers this weekend for the first time in a long while, tells me something is in the wind that only corporate knows.
If the rumors were not true then why would Estes be on such a hiring binge and freight coming out the yazoo? Hmmmm
