Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Here is an update on the bridge collapse in Baltimore’s impact to our operations:

Baltimore terminal (029) - The Maryland Department of Transportation has not lifted Hazardous Materials (HM) restrictions through the tunnels. As a result, we will need to reroute certain city trucks and may experience minor delays with HM shipments in the affected areas serviced over the bridge. Additionally, changes in traffic patterns may lead to localized congestion. That said, we aim to maintain as much continuity as possible.

Wilmington, DE terminal (027) - There are currently no discernible impacts on Pickup and Delivery operations. However, a few southbound line haul schedules involving HM will need to utilize alternate routes temporarily. Otherwise, operations in Wilmington remain unaffected.

Line haul from the Northeast to Southeast - Southbound line haul schedules with HM will need to adopt alternate routes temporarily to mitigate disruptions.

We are actively monitoring the situation and remain committed to minimizing service interruptions while ensuring the safety and efficiency of our operations. Further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.

Solar Eclipse

Estes is closely monitoring the Solar Eclipse event and proactively preparing for any potential interruptions, particularly in the Midwest and parts of the Southwest, notably Arkansas which anticipates the solar eclipse to be the largest tourism event in its history. In anticipation of potential traffic slowdowns and transit disruptions on the day of the event, we advise customers to adjust their transit calculations accordingly, allowing for an additional day for shipments passing through the affected regions. Please note that pickups or deliveries within the eclipse band cannot be guaranteed.  

If you have any questions about a shipment, contact your local terminal or call our corporate offices at 1-866-ESTES4U (378-3748), press 13.
