Dive Insight:
Estes is fighting XPO, Saia and other carriers to reopen facilities acquired by Yellow after the largest bankruptcy in trucking history.
The Richmond, Va.-based carrier last month reopened its Yellow terminals in Nevada and New Jersey, as well as an unrelated terminal in Florence, South Carolina.
In addition to Miami and West Palm Beach, the Boynton Beach facility participates in other Estes businesses in Florida, including those in Fort Myers, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville.
The Boynton Beach terminal will be overseen by Terminal Manager Schawn Bittner and District Operations Manager Vince Spataro, Estes said in the LinkedIn post.
Estes spent nearly $250 million in the real estate auction, and its Yellow acquisitions will add a total of 985 doors to its network, according to the company.
