Richmond, VA – Estes has been named to TIME Magazine’s inaugural America’s Best Private Companies list, developed in partnership with Statista. The list recognizes private companies that excel in employee satisfaction — including workplace culture, working conditions, compensation and equality — as well as company impact across four pillars: society, knowledge, health, and environment.
“As North America’s largest privately held freight company, we have the ability to stay focused on what matters most: our people,” said President and COO Webb Estes. “By investing in our employees, serving our customers with excellence, and supporting the communities where we live and work, we're proud to have built a culture that stands the test of time.”
TIME partners with The Upright Project, which collects data based on the net societal and environmental impact created through a company's products and services.
"It’s an honor to be recognized by TIME, particularly because it reflects our commitment to doing what's right,” said Vice President of Sustainability, Culture, and Communications Sara Graf. “Our Estes for Good philosophy guides how we show up for the communities we serve. Whether it's investing in our people, supporting local organizations, or finding more sustainable ways to operate, we believe lasting success comes from creating positive impact.”
