Estes’ newest terminal is in the capital of the Lone Star State — Austin, TX. Led by Terminal Manager Justin Gamangasso, Austin 505 has 32 doors, over 8,100 square feet of dock area, plus 2,050 more of office space on a 6.2-acre site. You’ll find Austin 505 close to I-35, US 183, and Highway 290 near the Walnut Creek and Tuscany business parks. District Operations Manager Tony Oha says this new facility will help grow the existing market while eliminating the need for Temple 181 — located over an hour away — to dedicate several drivers each day to serve it.
