There are many advantages to signing up for a Guaranteed Select account:

• With a Select account, you have an agreement concerning pricing for standard guarantees by 5:00 p.m., by noon or by 10:00 a.m. on the standard transit days when those services are available within the Estes network.
• No additional contractual agreements are required for those shipments.
• You receive a supply of guaranteed stickers to use on the Bill of Lading indicating the level of service requested.
• And if you're requesting guaranteed service by 5:00 p.m. on the standard transit day, all you have to do is apply the appropriate sticker to the Bill of Lading and arrange for a pickup by 5:00 p.m.

A Select account is not required to utilize our guarantee services, but it helps minimize administrative procedures. To set up a Select account, contact your Estes sales manager or call the terminal nearest you.

All guaranteed shipments are clearly marked and given preferential treatment every step of the way. They are even loaded last on the line-haul trailer so they'll be first-off at the point of destination for faster delivery. As many as 16 Estes team members are responsible for above-and-beyond quality assurance related to every guaranteed shipment, so you can be assured that your time-sensitive freight will arrive safely and on time.

Shipments guaranteed to arrive by 5:00 p.m. on the standard transit day can be tracked online or through the automatic phone-tracking tool using your PRO number (call 1-866-ESTES4U (1-866-378-3748) and press 111). For all other time-critical shipments, call 1-866-ESTES4U (1-866-378-3748) and press 2 to reach a time-critical representative.
