Estes Enhances Shipping Tools To Streamline The Freight Shipping Experience

Richmond, VA—Estes is enhancing its My Estes shipping tools—Rate Quote, Bill of Lading, and Pickup Request—to offer a more streamlined freight shipping experience for its customers. These shipping tools now offer helpful features that move customers seamlessly between requesting a rate quote, creating a BOL, and scheduling a pickup without needing to enter their freight details multiple times.

“By integrating our shipping tools and enhancing them with more intuitive features, we are making doing business with Estes even easier,” said Carrie Estes Johnstone, vice president, customer experience and innovation. “Being able to save, import, and autofill freight details within every shipment saves our customers valuable time and really streamlines their shipping experience.”

Estes’ shipping tool enhancements include updates to its:

  • Rate Quote tool, which now lets customers search and import commodities, use their quote details to generate a BOL, try a Quick Quote option if they need to get a quote fast, and more
  • Bill of Lading tool, which makes it easy to save and import addresses and commodities, add frequently used accessorials, accurately enter hazmat information, use any valid rate quote to generate a BOL, and more
  • Pickup Request tool, which now lets customers add multiple shipments to a single pickup request, include important freight characteristics, provide dock contact information, and more
