Comprehensive Freight Shipping Services
Expanded Capacity
Opened in 2025, our Rockford terminal features 80 doors and offers a third more capacity than the previous location. More freight can be moved directly from trailer to trailer without the need to stage or to wait—resulting in reduced freight handling, a minimized risk of damage or shortage, and more efficient pickups and deliveries.
Direct Shipping Lanes
As one of our 26 hub terminals, Rockford provides direct lanes to terminals throughout the region—each running every night like clockwork while offering reduced freight handling and superior reliability. Learn about the benefits of shipping through this hub terminal.
Greener Trucking Practices
We believe that to do right by our customers, we have to also do right by our planet. That’s why we continue to invest in sustainable initiatives like lower-emission trucks, electric forklifts, terminal solar arrays, and route optimization technology. Learn more about Sustainability at Estes.
